Salmon Salad Pitas can be a quick and delicious lunch or dinner. Pink salmon is mixed with lettuce, celery, red onion, dill, cucumbers, and flavorful dressing served inside a whole wheat pita along with fresh tomatoes.
These healthy Salmon Salad Pitas come together with just a few simple fresh ingredients. The key is to use good salmon and load it up with crunch and flavor using fresh ingredients.
What kind of pita bread should you use?
Pita bread comes in various sizes, thicknesses, and varieties. I like using the whole wheat or whole grain pita bread. These variations are made from whole wheat or whole grain flour, offering more fiber and nutrients compared to regular white pita. They can be a healthier option and work well with any filling, dip, or dish where you would use regular pita.
This creamy and crispy, inexpensive, and simple salmon salad is the one you’ve been searching for. It’s incredibly delicious, balanced and perfect with a whole wheat pita along with fresh tomatoes.
How to make this Recipe:
- Prepare the dressing
In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
- Add salad ingredients
To the same bowl, add the lettuce, salmon, celery, red onion, dill, and cucumber, and toss until well coated in the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make Salad Pitas
If you prefer a warm pita, you can warm your pita in an oven at 350°F for a few minutes or in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. Place the pita on a cutting board, slice it in half, and open each side to create a pocket. Then fill each side of the pocket with sliced tomatoes and the salmon salad mixture.
