Salmon Avocado Salad

After our 9-mile dike hike, followed by a late lunch at Burger King, we weren't too hungry for dinner, and didn't feel like having the planned chicken and rice leftovers. Wayne suggested a salmon salad, and that sounded like a good idea, so I searched for a recipe. This one calls for salmon filets, which I'm sure would be fabulous, but we're going to use canned salmon, because that's what's in the pantry!

Marinade/Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1-2 tablespoons feta cheese
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Combine all ingredients. Use to marinate salmon filets, then broil them until cooked through. Assemble salad with the following ingredients:
  • Romaine lettuce
  • sliced cucumbers
  • sliced red onion
  • sliced avocado
  • cherry tomatoes (or cubed tomatoes)
  • salmon
  • Kalamata or black olives
Drizzle with vinaigrette and garnish with feta cheese and optional lemon wedges.
