Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, mayonnaise, hot sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a spicy buttermilk dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed field greens, black-eyed peas, fire-roasted tomatoes, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Top with Salmon

    Once the salmon is grilled and slightly cooled, flake it into large pieces and place on top of the salad.

  5. 5

    Add Dressing and Garnish

    Drizzle the spicy buttermilk dressing over the salad and top with crispy onion strings for added crunch.
