🍅 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

🥓 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

🥬 4 cups mixed greens (romaine, arugula, spinach)

🧀 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

🧅 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

🌽 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or grilled)

🍋 Juice of 1 lemon

🍷 2 tablespoons olive oil

🧂 Salt and pepper to taste

Dressing:

🍋 Juice of 1 lemon

🥄 2 tablespoons olive oil

🍯 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

🧂 Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Cook the Salmon:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before flaking into pieces.

Prepare the Vegetables and Eggs:

Hard boil the eggs, cool them in an ice bath, peel, and quarter them.

Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, cook and crumble the bacon, and thinly slice the red onion.

If using fresh corn, you can grill or sauté it for extra flavor.

Assemble the Salad:

In a large salad bowl or platter, arrange the mixed greens as the base.

Neatly arrange the flaked salmon, hard-boiled eggs, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, blue cheese (if using), red onion slices, and corn kernels on top of the greens.

Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Dress the Salad:

Drizzle the dressing over the assembled salad. Gently toss to combine if desired, or serve with the dressing on the side.

Serve:

Serve immediately, garnished with extra lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.

Tips:

🌿 For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs like dill or parsley over the salad.

🍋 If you prefer, you can use a creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing instead of the lemon-Dijon dressing.
