Grilled Salmon Salad Recipe

This salad is far from frilly. In fact, it's sure to satisfy any rumbling stomach. It's perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner with friends. The key is to use wild salmon. Because the salad places so much emphasis on the fish, you'll want the subtle texture and flavors of wild salmon, rather than the sometimes bland taste and gummy texture of farm-raised. It'll cost more to go wild, but trust us, it's worth it.
