Ingredients

Salad

  • 8 ounces salmon filets or more, if desired
  • 8 cups spring mix lettuce or other favorite lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup Artichoke hearts drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Grape tomatoes cut in half
  • 1/4 cup Feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced red onion
  • Croutons optional

Champagne Vinaigrette

  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dijon Mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper more or less to taste

Instructions

VINAIGRETTE

  • Blend ingredients in a blender or food processor until emulsified.
  • Store in a tightly sealed container until ready to serve. Makes approximately 1 cup of dressing.

SALMON

  • Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a grill pan and place salmon, skin side up (if leaving skin on). Cook 4-5 minutes on each side. Depending on the thickness of the fish, cooking time may vary.

SALAD

  • Add lettuce to individual plates or bowls. Toss with vinaigrette dressing and top with kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, onions, feta cheese and grilled salmon (warm or chilled).

Notes

  • Feel free to double or triple the Champagne Vinaigrette ingredients to have leftovers or if you prefer a heavier dressed salad.
  • All salad ingredient amounts are approximate. Use more or less of anything you like.
  • This salad is great with other protein, like chicken or steak.
