Superfood Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
Description
This Superfood Salad features a base of kale mixed with cooked King salmon pieces, cooked quinoa, fresh blueberries, dried cranberries, and pepitas to provide a balance of earthy, fruity, and nutty tastes. The salad ingredients are combined simply in a bowl without extensive prep.
The poppy seed dressing is emulsified by shaking almond milk, light mayonnaise, honey, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, poppy seeds, and onion powder thoroughly in a jar. When drizzled over the salad, it adds a creamy texture with mild sweetness and tang, complementing the robust greens and salted salmon. The dish balances textures from chewy quinoa and cranberries, crispness from the kale, and the smoothness of the dressing.
This salad works well as a light meal or a healthy side and requires little cooking beyond the salmon and quinoa.
