Introduction
Healthy grilled salmon salad is a refreshing, protein-packed dish that combines tender, smoky salmon with crisp greens and a luscious avocado dressing. This salad is special because it strikes the perfect balance between heart-healthy fats, vibrant vegetables, and satisfying flavor. The salmon adds a rich, buttery texture, while the creamy avocado dressing brings a tangy and velvety finish. Fresh herbs, crunchy veggies, and a squeeze of citrus brighten each bite, making it ideal for a light lunch or a wholesome dinner. Quick tip: grill the salmon skin-on to lock in moisture and boost flavor.
