@mockinbrd I rarely eat salad sandwiches with mayo these days due to cholesterol, plus I have somewhat lost my taste for mayo. I use an avocado one too but not Primal Kitchen. When I do make a salad of this sort, like tuna or chicken salad, it's to put it on top of a green salad. I try to stay away from bread.
For salmon salad do you use canned salmon, and do you add anything besides mayo to it? I have a can of salmon that I bought because it's the kind with the bones and is supposed to be good for osteoporosis but I have not yet been brave enough to open it. My intentions were good but when I think of it, it is not appealing.
Dark chocolate is my treat and since it's good for you also I can feel OK about eating it unless I overdo.

@contentandwell I love Mayo on sandwiches but I use a Vegan mayo it is by Best Foods so tasty . Egg free ,dairy free all plant based ,so good
Yes, I do use canned salmon, but only VitalChoice. I try to stay away from farmed salmon, far far away. This salmon is tasty and the best I can find. Add finely diced celery, carrot, onion. Add fresh dill. Add grapes when available.The smallest little tiny glob of Grey Pupon. And maybe toasted walnuts.
I like this canned salmon for convenience as it is a pantry stable item.
Now,
I pretty much think sardines are disgusting. But, these (conservasdeCambados) are fine. I need vitamin D as I never get outside. I am hoping the sardines, salmon, and pill supplements will help.
Wish I could treat you to my salmon salad because I think you would like it. Remember to add fresh dill!
@contentandwell , @artist01, Like Laurie, I frequently use a small can of salmon, with a dab of mayo, green onions, bread and butter pickles and finely chopp'd red/yellow bell peppers or even squash if any are on hand. Topped on a leafy green salad...delish!!
JK, maybe if you "pretend" the salmon is tuna for a first try it will get you over the hump? Smiles

@contentandwell JK, before I moved to Assisted Living, and in control of my own meal choices, I loved a meal with a whole can of salmon (bone in) on top of a mixed green salad. Absolutely scrumptious! I only used ordinary mayo, bc didn't know of avocado mayo at the time. Sounds delicious! Good luck some day soon, when you feel adventurous!
