Salad Ingredients

  • 1 lb cooked salmon chilled and flaked
  • 2 large cucumbers sliced
  • 2 ripe avocados diced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey

Preparation

  • Cook your salmon by grilling, baking, or poaching as per your preference. Once cooked, allow it to cool completely and then flake it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Slice the cucumbers, dice the avocados, thinly slice the red onion, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the fresh dill.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, cucumbers, avocados, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and dill. Toss gently to mix the ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
  • For best flavor, cover and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Serve the salad in a large shallow dish for a visually appealing presentation. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
  • Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • You can prepare the salad components a day ahead but keep the dressing separate until ready to serve to maintain the salad's freshness.
