Easy Chopped Salmon Salad

Summer Salads just got made! This salad makes a complete meal on its own, so you really don’t need to serve anything additional with it. If you want to add some extra fiber and make it more filling, you could mix in some cooked cauliflower rice, lentils, or quinoa.

How to Quickly Make Salmon for a Chopped Salmon Salad

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.

• Place salmon on the baking sheet, skin-side down, season with salt and pepper and bake 10 to 12 minutes.

• 8 oz. salmon - cooked and flaked

• 3 cups cucumber - chopped

• 1 medium avocado - chopped

• 4 cups chopped lettuce (I like a mix of Romaine, Spring Mix & Kale) - chopped

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley or dill - chopped fresh herbs can make all the difference!

For the dressing:

• 1.5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

• 1 Tbsp Tahini

• 1 Tsp Dijon Mustard

What You'll Do:
