This salmon salad is a healthy and delicious option for a light meal or a refreshing side dish. With tender, flaky salmon, vibrant vegetables, and a tangy dressing, it’s the perfect combination of flavors and textures. It's quick, easy to make, and a great way to enjoy a wholesome meal without the hassle.

Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (fresh or cooked)

4 cups mixed greens (like spinach, arugula, or kale)

1 cucumber, sliced

1 avocado, diced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup lemon vinaigrette dressing (or dressing of choice)

Instructions

  1. If using raw salmon, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Drizzle the salmon fillets with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked. Alternatively, you can grill or pan-sear the salmon.
  2. While the salmon is cooking, prepare your salad base. In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cucumber, avocado, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  3. Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into large chunks. Add the salmon to the salad.
  4. Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette (or your choice of dressing) over the salad, then gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately, and enjoy your fresh and flavorful salmon salad!

Notes

  • To add some crunch, sprinkle roasted almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds on top.
  • You can swap out the greens with arugula, romaine, or mixed baby greens for variety.
  • If preferred, use a balsamic glaze, ranch, or tahini dressing instead of the lemon vinaigrette.
  • For a touch of sweetness, consider adding orange slices, berries, or apple slices.
