Salmon Salad Wheels

Salmon Salad Wheels

Bento lunches are a superb way to spice up traditional sandwiches—and these salmon pinwheels will add flare to any school lunch.

 

Ingredients

Yield: Serves 1 or 2 young children.

  • 1/2 can (7 1/2 oz/213 g) salmon, drained and skin removed
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 8-inch stalk celery, quartered lengthwise
  • 1 8-inch whole wheat soft flour tortilla
  • 1/2 tsp light cream cheese

 

Directions

1. The night before, in small bowl, combine salmon and mayonnaise. Prepare celery, reserving 1 celery stick for pinwheel. The remaining celery can be cut into sticks and packed with other vegetables for tomorrow’s lunch. Refrigerate salmon mixture and celery overnight.

2. In the morning, evenly spread salmon mixture over tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around tortilla. Place celery at one end of tortilla. Spread cream cheese on opposite end in1/2-inch strip. Starting with end of tortilla with celery, roll up tightly, working toward cream cheese end, and press tightly so that cream cheese “glues” pinwheel together. With sharp knife, slice into 1-inch rounds, discarding ends. Pack in reusable container.

Variation: Substitute canned tuna for the salmon in this recipe, if you like.
