Southwest Salmon Salad

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.

Here’s the 21 Day Fix Southwest Salmon Salad recipe. Enjoy!
