Creamy avocado halves cradle a bright salmon salad laced with lime and Dijon, while Greek yogurt and a touch of mayonnaise keep every bite rich and refreshing. Chives scattered on top add a gentle onion note that lingers.

  • 1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup diced celery
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground pepper
  • 2 (5 ounce) cans salmon, drained, flaked, skin and bones removed

  1. Combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup celery, 2 tablespoons parsley, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 2 teaspoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl; mix well. Add 10 ounces salmon and mix well.
