  • For the Salmon:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Kosher or fine sea salt to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste
  • For the Salad:
  • 1 large head romaine lettuce chopped (about 8 cups)
  • 8 slices turkey bacon or regular, cooked and chopped
  • 4 hard boiled eggs sliced
  • 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 ears corn cooked and kernels removed (about 1 cup)
  • ½ cup red onion thinly sliced
  • ½ cup crumbled feta or blue cheese
  • 2 avocados sliced
  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing:
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • Ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prep proteins and veggies:
  • Cook turkey bacon, hard-boil the eggs, and prepare corn if not already done.
  • Whisk all dressing ingredients in a bowl or shake in a mason jar until smooth. Set aside.
  • Bake salmon:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet.
  • Place salmon filets on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes until cooked through. Flake into large chunks once slightly cooled.
  • Assemble salad:
  • In each bowl, layer a base of romaine, then top with equal parts bacon, eggs, tomatoes, corn, red onion, feta or blue cheese, and avocado.
  • Add flaked salmon and fresh herbs.
  • Drizzle with 2–3 Tablespoons of honey mustard dressing and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap feta for goat cheese or omit for dairy-free.
  • Salmon can be grilled or pan-seared if preferred.
  • Make ahead by prepping all ingredients and storing separately until ready to assemble.
