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!

I frequently put loeftovers that aren’t enough for a meal on salads. It is delicious! Enjoy your evening!
Salmon over a salad sounds like a great summer dish, fresh and light! Thanks for sharing with us at the Homestead Blog Hop! 🙂
This is a salad we have often this time of year. Enjoy your evening!
That sounds wonderful. Your lucky if you can buy wild caught salmon it is so much better. All the trimmings sound good too.

Thank you Kathleen! We are close enough to the Atlantic and Alaska that we get it here often. I am glad you like it. Enjoy your evening!
I don’t know why I haven’t added salmon to a salad. I bet this is super good. Pinned, and sharing Thanks for sharing your recipes at the Inspiration Spotlight party @DearCreatives
When I have any type of leftovers that will work I add them. No waste that way!! Have a good week Theresa and enjoy!
That 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.
Adding 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.
This is a lovely salad for the warmer weather! Looks delicious!
Thank you Amy. It just yells “lunch on the deck!” To me. Have a great day.
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing on #BloggingGrandmothersLinkParty.

Salmon is my # 1 food. I eat it every single day. I crave it. It’s just so friggin’ amazing. So when I see it on anyone’s blog, I have to click over and salivate! 😉

Thank you so much Annie. This salad shouts that spring is here. Have a good week!
I 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!
This is so easy. I have more involved recipes with marinate and toppings, but this is my favorite! Have a wonderful week.
I love salmon! I eat salmon quite a bit in salad or with white rice. However, I’ve never had my salmon in a strawberry salad- I must give it a try!
Thank you so much for sharing with us at #MMBH!
