Salmon and Spinach Salad plus Fixins

Here is an effortless, healthful and refreshing dinner to make on one of those warmer days. We mix our own dressing and pour on our own servings. My family prefers a combination of EVOO (credit to Rachael Ray), balsamic vinegar (my Babe likes Red Wine Vinegar), and a shake or two of salt. I didn't include those in the ingredients because there are no measurements; the mix is intuitive. The number of servings are for flat bottomed bowls.

Prep time: Seafood
  Servings: 6 Bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 14.5 oz. can of salmon (I use Chicken Of The Sea Traditional Style)
  • 1 10 oz bag of fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1 can of large pitted black olives
  • 1 14.5 oz can of great northern/navy beans or red kidney beans or black beans (I serve what's in the pantry.)
  • 3 medium tomatoes
  • 1 small head of broccoli
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 small sweet or purple onion
  • 1/2 to 1 tbs of garlic powder
  • Several grinds of fresh black pepper

Directions

  1. Wash the spinach, dry in a spinner and place in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Rinse the beans and add to the spinach.
  3. Cut each olive into thirds. (Yes, I know you can by sliced/diced olives but I enjoy the prep.) Add to the mixing bowl.
  4. Rinse the broccoli. Cut the flowers into smaller pieces but leave some stem.
  5. Rough chop or dice the tomatoes and add to the bowl.
  6. Slice the onion into thin slices and add to the bowl.
  7. Empty the salmon on the cutting board. Remove as much of the skin as possible. (I leave the bones in but you might prefer to remove as many as possible.) Then, flake the salmonv and add to the mix.
  8. Add the garlic powder.
  9. Add the freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Shave the carrot, add to the mix and toss the salad.
  11. The dinner salad is ready for plating. Each person adds his/her own dressing.
