  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Cook the salmon for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Remove the salmon from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, poppy seeds, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  6. Arrange the mixed greens in a large salad bowl or serving platter.
  7. Top with sliced strawberries, avocado, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and almonds.
  8. Place the cooked salmon over the salad.
  9. Drizzle with the poppyseed dressing just before serving.
  10. Toss gently if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Baby spinach, arugula, or romaine can be used instead of mixed greens.
  • Add blueberries, raspberries, or orange segments for extra fruit flavor.
  • Substitute goat cheese for feta if preferred.
  • Store salad ingredients and dressing separately for meal prep.
  • Toss avocado with lemon juice to help prevent browning.
  • The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated.
