I enjoyed this salad at a well-known restaurant and when they wouldn't divulge the recipe, I created my own. Although a bit time consuming, everything can be prepared at least a day ahead, covered and refrigerated. I took this salad to the 2011 AR Buckeye Bash and am posting for those who requested the recipe. This salad may be served cold or at room temperature.

Salmon Quiche
This salmon quiche recipe was one my father would always make on holidays for family members who didn't like turkey or ham. It's become a staple at my holiday dinners as well. Everyone who's eaten it has loved it and begged for the family recipe afterward. We always make two and freeze one for later. It's excellent paired with a side of grilled asparagus.
