One of my favorite quick, easy meals for two! This blackened salmon salad with strawberry balsamic vinaigrette is bursting with springy and summery goodness. I used the air fryer to cook the salmon and made the dressing with real strawberries. I’m all about fruit in my salads right now – the savory sweet combo does it again. Let me know if you put any other toppings on yours!

What To Add In The Salad: 

I love adding fruit to certain salads which I know isn’t for everyone. But I think with this strawberry balsamic vinaigrette, it works! Strawberries, blueberries, & blackberries are perfect additions with the blackened salmon and dressing. I also recommend adding some type of cheese & nut. I like using feta and pecans in this salad but you can use whatever sounds good to you!
