Ingredients
  

For the salad:

2 cups mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, and lettuce)

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

1 cup cooked salmon (grilled, baked, or poached)

1/2 ripe avocado, sliced

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted

1/4 red onion, paper-thin slices

Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

For the dressing:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the salmon: If you have not cooked the salmon yet, choose your preferred method: grill, bake, or poach. Cook it until it is flaky and fully cooked through. Allow it to cool for a few minutes, then break it into bite-sized pieces.

    Make the dressing: In a small bowl or airtight jar, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk together vigorously or seal the jar and shake until the mixture is emulsified and smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

      Assemble the salad: In a large serving bowl, begin by layering a generous bed of mixed salad greens as your base.

        Add the toppings: Carefully arrange the sliced strawberries, cooked salmon pieces, avocado slices, crumbled feta cheese, toasted walnuts, and thin slices of red onion over the greens for a colorful presentation.

          Drizzle with dressing: Pour the dressing over the beautifully arranged salad, ensuring to coat the ingredients evenly. Toss gently using salad tongs or two large forks to combine everything without bruising the delicate greens and toppings.

            Garnish: Finish the dish by delicately sprinkling fresh dill over the top, adding a fragrant touch that enhances the salad's appeal.

              Serve: Spoon the salad into individual bowls for serving, ensuring an equal share of toppings and greens in each portion. Enjoy this fresh and vibrant salad immediately!
