Salmon Salad Beautiful presentation of salmon salad
Is this a single portion plate?
Or is it a communal plate containing all 4 servings?

Hi Rose-Ellen. The directions say “on a large platter” which makes me think it’s communal. But there is no reason not to replicate it a few times on smaller dishes.
