Blackened Salmon Salad With Strawberry Balsamic Vinaigrette

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!
