To make the grilled salmon salad, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 8 cups mixed greens
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

For the lemon-dill dressing, you will need:

To make the dressing, whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to your taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

In a large salad bowl, toss the mixed greens with some of the dressing. Divide among four plates or bowls. Top with cucumber slices, tomato halves, avocado slices, and feta cheese.
