Salmon Cobb Salad
I LOVE salmon and cook it at least once a week. Therefore, I am always looking for fun ways to eat salmon. This recipe is so good - I want to share it with you. I have only made this with freshly cooked salmon but I think it would be great if you had left over salmon. I made the recipe exactly as it states but there are many ways you can modify this recipe according to your liking.
I hope this recipe inspires you to be creative & have fun cooking!
