Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and thinly sliced red onion.

  4. 4

    Make the Lemon Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt until well combined.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad ingredients in the large bowl. Toss gently to coat the greens and vegetables evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Place the salad on plates or in bowls. Flake the grilled salmon on top of the salad and serve immediately.
