It is from the to say "Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh" when giving the salutation to the right, and "Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah" to the left. This has been reported from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and it is not obligatory. It is sufficient to restrict oneself to "Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah."
