Easy Salmon Caesar Salad

This Easy Salmon Caesar Salad is such an great lunch or dinner. I’m totally not a salad person but when summer comes around, for some reason I start craving fresh and light meals (like salad)! While I was at the grocery store last I made sure to grab some of my favorite salad ingredients like: romaine, caesar dressing, croutons and cucmbers. I also bought some shelled pistachios to throw in there because WHY NOT!

When I was younger I used to go to Panera Bread A LOT! My go to order was the 1/2 and 1/2 option. So I would either get 1/2 Ceasar Chicken Sandwich, 1/2 Chicken Ceasar Salad or 1/2 Broccoli Cheddar Soup. The Panera Bread Caesar Salald is my FAVORITE. So when I was building this salad, I was using their salad as my inspiration!

What you will need for your Salmon Caesar Salad:

Salmon

Lettuce of choice

Caesar Dressing

(The following toppings are optional)

Shelled Pistachios

Croutons

Cucumbers

(Some other toppings that would also go well with this salad)

Shaved Parmesean

Tomatoes

Red Onion

I seasoned my salmon super simply because I knew I would be getting some caesar dressing on it while I was eating. I sprinkled some salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder and had husband cook it up on the grill. It came out so good! I also paired our salads with a slice each of the homemade bread I made. If you’ve ever been to Sweetgreen, you know they give you this delicious bread with each bowl!! Thanks for the inspo, Sweetgreen.
