The secret for the best salmon spread with mayo
I became a fan of this salmon spread recipe since childhood, but my grandmother used to prepare it using melted butter. The disadvantage in the case is that it was always necessary to take the salmon spread out of the refrigerator and let it soften for a few minutes.
However, in order to enjoy a delicious portion of salmon spread, I replaced the butter with kidsfriendly mayo. Thus, we get a healthy, tasty dish that keeps its creamy texture regardless of whether it is kept in the refrigerator or taken out at room temperature.
So, the secret to the best salmon spread or tuna spread is to use a homemade kidsfriendly mayo, which is delicious, creamy and extremely healthy.
If you want to find out more information about my kidsfriendly mayo recipe, I invite you to follow the recipe and take into account all the information in the article dedicated to kidsfriendly mayonnaise.
