Layered Salmon Salad with Creamy Tarragon Lemon Dressing

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Salmon salad is my go-to salad of choice, especially when I’m working on my nutrition. I do the 21 Day Fix portion control diet, so prepping these in advance is a great way to stay on track.

This layered salad is easy because I can dump it on a plate, drizzle the creamy tarragon dressing over the top and enjoy my lunch while I’m working at my computer.

These days, I’m working from home and also helping my daughter with her remote learning plan. So, having prepped meals that are healthy is a plus. (If only I could get her to eat the same…)

What is in this salmon salad?

  • Grilled Salmon (I use a grill pan)
  • Yellow bell pepper
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Kalamata olives
  • Mini cucumbers (seedless)
  • Arugula – Spinach mix
  • Fresh tarragon leaves

The dressing is very simple to make. It’s just greek yogurt, mayo, tarragon, lemon juice and zest with a little dijon mustard and red wine vinegar all mixed together.
