Ingredients

• Salmon & Avocado Salad
• 1 (6 to 8 ounce) can wild salmon, drained (cooked leftover salmon flaked into pieces also works)
• 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and diced
• 2 cups loosely packed baby salad greens of choice (such as mesclun/spring mix, baby spinach, or baby kale)
• 1/2 cup shredded reduced fat monterey jack or other shredded cheese of choice
• 3/4 cup chopped, ripe tomato
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (from half lemon)
• Lemon Dressing
• 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice (from half lemon)
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard

Directions

Have 2 clean jars ready. They can be mason/ball jars, reused clean jam jars, or marinara sauce jars.

If lettuce is packed, salad should fit in pint-sized jars.

Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing except olive oil.

Slowly drizzle olive oil, whisking all the while.

Dressing can be packed separately or placed as the first ingredient in the bottom of jars.

Toss avocado in lemon juice. This will add some zing to the avocado and keep it from browning.

Add an even amount of diced tomatoes to each jar, then cheese, then avocado, then salmon, then lettuce.

Securely screw the lid on each jar.

Enjoy!
