Instructions

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