Expert Tips

Choosing Salmon: Opt for frozen salmon when possible. It is frozen right after it is caught and often times more fresh than filets at the butcher counter

Cutting your cucumber: Use a mandolin to slice cucumber thin. This makes the task super fast and makes all of the slices uniform.

Serve in a shallow bowl: Use wide, shallow bowls for serving. They not only look cute, but also make it easier to mix and eat the salad. These are often called pasta bowls.
