This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of healthy fats and protein. The salmon is cooked and flaked, and the avocado is peeled and sliced. The salad is then tossed with mixed greens, red onion, parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
This salad was inspired by my trip to the Pacific Northwest. I was hiking in the mountains and came across a beautiful stream. I stopped to eat lunch and enjoyed a piece of salmon that I had caught earlier that day. The salmon was so fresh and delicious, and I knew that I wanted to create a salad that would showcase its flavor. I added avocado, mixed greens, red onion, parsley, olive oil, and lemon juice to the salad, and the result was a dish that was both healthy and satisfying.
