Japanese avocado salad with wasabi mayo and salmon is a fresh, creamy, and savory salad recipe that brings together soft avocado, rich salmon, and a clean wasabi kick. The salad usually uses ripe avocado cut into chunks or slices, then paired with cooked salmon, smoked salmon, or sashimi-grade salmon depending on the serving style. A simple dressing made with Japanese mayonnaise, wasabi, soy sauce, lemon juice, rice vinegar, sesame oil, or a little mirin gives the salad a smooth texture with gentle heat and umami. Cucumber, lettuce, onion, radish, tomato, nori, sesame seeds, or green onion can add crunch and freshness. The creamy avocado balances the salty salmon while the wasabi mayo keeps each bite bright. The final salad is easy to serve as an appetizer, light lunch, rice bowl topping, sushi-style side, or Japanese home-style dish.
