1/2 cup diced cucumber

3 tbsp low-fat or nonfat mayonnaise

1/4 cup sliced green onion

2 cups dark green lettuce

2 tomatoes, cut in wedges

Toss salmon, cucumber, mayonnaise and green onion together in a large mixing bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 6 hours. Make a bed of lettuce and serve the salmon salad in the middle, garnished with tomatoes.
