Southwest salmon salad is a 21 Day Fix approved dinner that’s perfect for a summer grilled meal. Fire up the coals and dress up a salmon filet with cilantro, avocado, salsa, and southwest spices. Delicious and SO easy to make!
Confession #26- I think I jinxed us last week. At least those of us in PA. I’m SO sorry.
Because I started the week last Monday saying how beautiful the weather was and how it was FINALLY warm enough to grill and eat outdoors.
And by Thursday, I watched snowflakes outside my classroom window, and even my snow-loving 7th graders were annoyed.
Oops.
I also planned a blog post about this delicious grilled salmon recipe that just screams summer. That night I turned my heat back on.
I feel like this my fault.
Anyway, I still made the salmon (inside – I’m wimpy), and I’m hoping this southwest salmon salad recipe gives you a taste of the warm weather that’s to come.
Fingers crossed.
