in Recipes, Lunch, Meal Seafood salad with avocado
A fresh and tasty seafood salad with shrimp and salmon that are excellent sources of protein. When avocado, mayonnaise and sour cream are added, the combination of healthy fats make this an excellent keto meal. If you're dairy-free, omit the sour cream and add a bit more mayo.

Yes, canned salmon should work well for this dish.
Smoked salmon would give a very different taste and texture. We have not tested this recipe with that substitution.
