Notes

To enhance the smoky flavor of the grilled salmon, consider marinating it briefly before cooking. Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite nuts or seeds for added crunch. If you’re meal prepping, store the dressing separately to keep the greens crisp. Pair with crusty bread and enjoy every forkful!
