Mediterranean Salmon Salad
Description
Mediterranean Salmon Salad uses canned wild-caught salmon drained of juices as the protein base. Sliced avocado adds creamy texture, while thinly sliced red onion and drained sun-dried tomatoes contribute sharp and sweet contrasts. Crumbled feta cheese brings a salty richness. The salad is tossed with a dressing made of Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, dried dill, sea salt, and black pepper, creating a tangy and herbaceous coating that ties the ingredients together.
The salad is creamy with a blend of fresh and preserved flavors typical of Mediterranean preparations. It’s suitable as a light meal on its own, over greens, or as a sandwich or lettuce wrap filling.
Leftover salad keeps well for up to three days when refrigerated in airtight conditions, making it practical for meal prepping or quick lunches.

- 1 large avocado sliced
- 1/3 cup red onion thinly sliced

- Open the canned salmon and drain the juices out. Transfer the salmon to a large bowl along with the sliced avocado, chopped red onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese.
