Mediterranean Salmon Salad and Buttermilk Potato Salad

from Chris and Holly
We loved this meal - I hope you enjoyed it. We had a sandwich with the salmon but also made lettuce wraps with it - which were super delicious too.

Mediterranean Salmon Salad
from Martha Stewart Living

12 oz canned salmon
1 celery stalk, diced, leaves reserved
1 tsp lemon zest
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp capers, rinsed and chopped
S&P
1/4 c. fresh dill

Combine salmon, celery, lemon zest and juice, almonds, oil, capers, S&P. Mix in dill and celery leaves. Serve with lettuce on bread.

Buttermilk Potato Salad
from Martha Stewart Living

3 lbs small red potatoes
1/4 c. plus 1 tsp sour cream
1/3 c. low-fat buttermilk
2 tbsp prepared horseradish
S&P
1/4 c. fresh dill
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh chives

Cover potatoes with water by 1 1/2 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until potatoes can be pierced easily, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool completely. Cut potatoes into halves or quarters.

Stir all ingredients together.

Total cost = $50 - jeez it seemed like it was going to be a lot cheaper!! At least it was a quick one.
