When my dad last visited I made Salmon with Raspberry Balsamic Glaze for dinner. We had some left over, so the next day I decided to use the leftover salmon to create a salad. My dad got in on the act and suggested that I add the leftover blueberries and bacon from breakfast to the salad, and a masterpiece was created!
I have made this several times since and you can use any type of leftover cooked fish in this salad
This salad is very easy to make and comes together quickly. It is made by combining salmon, spinach, apples, blueberries, bacon, and walnuts.
I topped it with a homemade raspberry vinaigrette that is made using pure-fruit raspberry jam and balsamic vinegar. If you use regular jam, you can reduce or eliminate the sugar in the dressing recipe.
This salad is packed full of super-foods and is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free.
