Salmon, cream cheese and avocado! What could taste richer? This is a quick and tasty snack for lunch, hungry kids, or company.
The calorie count is figured without the sesame crackers, since they vary a great deal from brand to brand. It is also calculated with low-fat cream cheese and regular mayonnaise, so you can reduce it if you use a non-fat cream cheese and a low-fat mayo.

- » 1 medium onion, diced
- » 2 whole medium sweet pickles, diced
- » 2 tablespoons Hellman’s or Best Foods mayonnaise

- » salt to taste
- » 1 box sesame crackers
- » 4 oz. low-fat cream cheese
- » 1 whole Haas avocado, (the ones with the dark, bumpy skins)
- » 1 clove garlic
- Dice the onions and pickles. Mix in the canned salmon, mayonnaise, lemon juice, pepper and salt to taste..
- Puree the avocado with the garlic clove.
