This is a great seafood dish that will pair well with a small side of quinoa, or simply add on other nonstarchy vegetable like steamed green beans or cauliflower!

This was my first time ever trying salmon and preparing it myself. This recipe turned out really good!! I made an extra serving to meal prep for the next day and it still tasted just as good the day after. I love the combination of avacado and salmon I will definitely be making this again sometime.

I thought the combination of ingredients wasn't going to taste good but I think the salad dressing tied everything together. This was really good salad. I'd recommend everyone try this.
