What to Serve With Avocado Salmon Salad?
Typically served as an entrée, this salad doesn’t need a lot of complements except for simple things like niçoise olives, seasoned croutons, or slices of toasted garlic bread. Cold, poached asparagus makes for a lovely garnish on top of the salad as well as do fresh herbs from the garden!
Got Leftovers?
This fresh summer salad is so delicious there are hardly any leftovers!
In the Fridge: Avocado Salmon Salad will last in the fridge about a day or two but skip adding the dressing. It needs to be covered so it won’t absorb the flavors or odors of the other items in the fridge. Toss and dress just before serving. In the Freezer: The salad portion of this recipe is not suited for the freezer. However, cooked salmon can be frozen but because it is so delicate it will definitely not be as firm once it is thawed. The water in the fish turns to ice crystals and breaks up the fibers in the fish as it freezes.
Once it is thawed, the fish becomes softer. To refresh, simply drain the liquid off and then refresh the flavors by adding a few splashes of lemon juice and a few fresh cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta cheese!
