This recipe is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I usually make a big batch of salmon on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make this salad during the week.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. I love the combination of flavors and textures. The salmon is flaky and tender, the green beans are crisp, and the dressing is tangy and flavorful.
