Ingredients

Scale

For the salad:

  • 1 pound salmon, cooked and flaked
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium avocado, cubed
  • 1/2 cup diced onions (I use sliced green onions but you could use red or white)
  • 2 cups arugula (or baby spinach)

For the dressing:

  • 3 Tbsp oil (I use avocado oil)
  • 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice (juice from one medium lemon)
  • 2 – 3 tsp honey or maple syrup (to desired sweetness)
  • Optional – crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the salmon. I season mine with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper and bake in the oven. Then flake it apart.
  2. Cook quinoa according to package directions. (1/2 cup dry will give you about 2 cups cooked)
  3. Combine tomatoes, corn, avocado, onions, quinoa and arugula in a large bowl.
  4. In a small bowl or mason jar, combine dressing ingredients and mix well.
  5. Pour dressing over salad.
  6. Top with salmon and serve.
