    Start by prepping your ingredients. Rinse the mixed greens thoroughly and pat dry.

    2

    Next, wash the cherry tomatoes and halve them. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop the flesh out, and slice it.

    3

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. While it's heating, season the salmon fillet on both sides with salt and black pepper.

    4

    Drizzle olive oil onto the grill and place the salmon skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

    5

    In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and lemon juice to create a simple dressing. You can add more seasoning to taste.

    6

    Once the salmon has slightly cooled, flake it into bite-sized pieces.

    7

    In a large serving bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices. Top with the flaked salmon.

    8

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together before serving.

How to be creative
  • Add some nuts, like almonds or walnuts, for extra crunch and protein.
  • Incorporate seasonal fruits such as berries or mango for added flavor and nutrition.
  • Use a variety of greens like arugula or spinach for different textures and tastes.
Important Tips
  • For even more flavor, marinate the salmon in lemon juice, olive oil, and herbs for about 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Make sure the grill is hot enough before adding the salmon to prevent sticking.
  • Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite toppings like feta cheese or olives.
