4 skinless salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
coarse salt and pepper
10 ounces Baby Spinach
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

  • If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use baby kale or Swiss chard.
  • To save time, you can buy pre-cooked salmon. Just flake it with a fork before adding it to the salad.
  • If you don't have an avocado, you can use another creamy fruit or vegetable, such as a ripe mango or sweet potato.
  • If you want a more substantial salad, add some cooked quinoa or brown rice.
  • For a tangy dressing, try a citrus vinaigrette made with lemon or orange juice.
  • If you want a creamy dressing, try an avocado-based dressing made with Greek yogurt or sour cream.
