Instructions

Prepare the Salmon: Start by draining the canned salmon and flaking it into a large mixing bowl. If using fresh salmon, bake or grill it until fully cooked, then let it cool before flaking.

Mix the Vegetables: Add the mixed greens, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion to the bowl with the salmon. Feel free to get creative—add other vegetables according to your preference!

Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, ensuring an even distribution for maximum flavor.

Toss the Salad: Gently toss all the ingredients together until the salad is well combined and evenly coated with the dressing. Take care not to break up the salmon too much; you want to maintain some chunks for texture.

Serve: Divide the salad into serving bowls or plates and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste.
