Salmon and Avocado Salad
Salmon and Avocado Salad
I can’t say enough about how good this salad is. Salmon, tomatoes, avocado, and arugula tossed with a simple lemon vinaigrette dressing. It’s nutrient dense with protein, omega 3s, antioxidants such as vitamin A and lycopenes, and lots of healthy fats. It’s almost effortless to prepare and is filling enough to eat as your main course.
Ingredients
- 3 cups arugula
- 1 cup tomatoes seeded and diced
- 1 avocado cubed
- 8 oz salmon steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Dressing
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 2 tbsp white vinegar
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat up the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Cook the salmon steak for 5-6 minutes a side until it’s completely cooked through. Let cool. Peel the skin off. Remove any bones. Crumble and set aside.
- Mix together the dressing ingredients and set aside.
- Place the arugula in the bottom of a large bowl. Layer the crumbled salmon, avocado, and tomatoes across the top.
- Pour over the dressing. Now it’s for my favorite time: toss the salad.
