I kept the dressing on the side for more control. Also I used crisp white wine in the dressing instead of water. What did water ever do except boil pasta? I put the salmon on top of the salad and sprinkled dill on top of it. That was so I could have it the next without the salmon taking over. Healthy salad; good use for leftover grilled salmon.

Only okay. Underwhelmed, as another reviewer said. Not sure I will make again.

This recipe is a main stay in our house. I have made it several (more than 10) times. Double the amount of salmon; serve it with crusty bread with herbed olive oil for dipping the bread. My kids love it. I made it for pot luck parties. It always goes fast.

Blech! Underwhelming and not very tasty. Strange combination of flavors. Will not make again. I won't even bother trying to improve on it.

This was good, but we didn't think it was anything special. Perhaps the dressing needs more flavor.
