1 can pink salmon (drained)
1 8oz pkg. cream cheese
3 or 4 tbsp. mayonnaise
½ to ¾ cup grated cheddar
1/4 tsp. cajun seasoning
1/8 tsp. ground red pepper, or to taste (not cayenne)
chopped pecans (optional)
Flake the salmon & combine with remaining ingredients. Chill before serving.
DH is using this for his SBD salmon spread (which the book mandates be eaten on cucumber rounds, but never provides a source or a recipe for . . .
), but the best thing we've found for it is . . . . . .
Wrap up about 3-4 tbsp. of salmon spread in a nice big leaf of lettuce & then tuck it in a wee LaTiara taco shell. You know me and textures . . . this is a fine little snack or small meal!
(I never pick out the bones/skin of the canned salmon - they're good for what ails us & totally invisible when mashed. I also vary the amount of cream cheese, so do what you like - this is a very flexible recipe!)
Oh btw . . . here is my homemade cajun seasoning recipe . . . I keep a shaker of it at the stove all the time - have for years.
