Grilled Salmon & Avocado Salad

January 28, 2015

This one was a hit in my house, and probably one of my favorite salads I’ve made to date.  I’m a big fan of self-contained dishes, they’re perfect for on-the-go eating, and the less dishes the better!

The flavor of this Grilled Salmon & Avocado Salad was certainly on par with some of the best I’ve had in the restaurant circuit.  It was smoky, yet zesty, hearty, but still light and nutritious. Simply scrumptious just about sums it up.
