Serves 2

Ingredients

Salmon fillets: 2 (6-ounce fillets)
Salt: to taste
Black pepper: to taste
Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Lemon juice: 2 tablespoons
Cucumber: 1, sliced
Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
Red onion: 1/4, thinly sliced
Mixed greens: 4 cups
Kiwi: 2, peeled and sliced

Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Season the salmon fillets generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it cool slightly before flaking it into bite-sized pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced kiwi, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to create a zesty dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Add the flaked grilled salmon on top of the salad and toss gently again to incorporate.
Serve the kiwi and salmon salad immediately for the freshest taste.

Tips

💡 For an extra flavor kick, consider adding a dash of chili flakes to the dressing.
💡 You can substitute the salmon with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
💡 Add nuts or seeds, like walnuts or sunflower seeds, for added crunch.
