Mediterranean Salmon Salad

Let's Make...

This heart healthy, crave-worthy salad is packed with succulent salmon fillets, creamy avocado, olives, veggies, and tangy Feta cheese. Less than 20 minutes to plate!

Dressing Ingredients

As they say, the secret is in the sauce. I use this dressing for both a Mediterranean salmon marinade as well as a light, zesty dressing for the salad.

Salad Ingredients:

– 1lb Salmon Fillets  – 4 cups Lettuce – 1 cup Cucumber – 12 Grape Tomatoes – ½ Red Onion – 1 Avocado – ½ cup Feta Crumbles – ⅓ cup Kalamata olives – Lemon wedges (optional)

Typically, Wild Sockeye and Coho have more robust taste. Atlantic is lighter in color, milder taste, and fattier.  This fat allows it to fall apart and flake more easily.
