This Fresh Salmon Salad has fresh avocado hass, strawberries, mixed greens and its own poppy seed dressing. This salad is great on a warm summer day as you sit on the deck under your umbrella. It also makes a great dinner for two with candlelight, soft music and a glass of your favorite wine. Enjoy!

May 6, 2018 at 10:39 PMThat sounds wonderful. Your lucky if you can buy wild caught salmon it is so much better. All the trimmings sound good too.

May 4, 2018 at 5:22 PMThat looks delicious! I love salmon and tend to be the only one in the house that really enjoys eating it; now I can make it for my lunches and not feel like I have to make all sorts of side dishes to go with it. I had never thought of putting it on a salad before. Pinned.

May 4, 2018 at 9:17 PMAdding the salmon to the salad takes care of that “need to make two dinners” task. If they don’t want the salmon, they can add chicken strips or avocado! Have a great week.

April 30, 2018 at 10:45 AMI absolutely love Salmon, but don’t eat it as much as I would like. Longhorn Steakhouse has a scrumptious Salmon salad that I always order, but your recipe sounds super easy and will have to try it out. Thanks for sharing!
