Salmon Caesar Salad

Salmon Caesar Salad is fresh, delicious and easy to make, especially if you use leftover salmon.

We’ve gotten hooked (no pun intended!) on Caesar Salad lately. So fresh and so yummy that we’ve had one with almost every dinner! So we decided to up the protein and add in some salmon to this beautifully fresh salad, and we created this delicious Salmon Caesar Salad.

Cooking salmon

We had some leftover Cedar Plank Grilled Salmon the other day so I decided to throw the leftovers into a nice salad for lunch.

This Salmon Caesar Salad is the perfect way to use leftover cedar plank grilled salmon.

It was so good I decided I had to make it again and shoot some pictures to share it with you.

Man, I mean it was so yummy that I’d eat this all the time!

And, talk about good-for-you! Fresh spinach. Fresh salmon. All kinds of goodness going on in this Salmon Caesar Salad!

You can also cook Cedar Plank Salmon in the Air Fryer, or just simply cook Air Fryer Salmon.

Classic salad with a twist

I made my Caesar Salad with spinach. I love the taste of fresh spinach in this salad.

Spinach is a nice healthy dark leafy green filled with lots of iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, folate, and potassium. It’s also got lots of fiber.

Spinach isn’t traditional to a Caesar Salad though, usually the green of choice is romaine lettuce. Romaine is nice and crunchy.

Feel free to use either, but the flavors of the salmon and the spinach are awesome together.

Recipe notes

We’ve just been using bottled Caesar Dressing. And, we’ve found that Newman’s Own Creamy Caesar is a great dressing.

Now, I like my salads a little dry, and my husband likes his to have a little more dressing on that I do. So, feel free to use as much or as little dressing as you’d like on this.

Top it with croutons for a nice crunchy bite. You can even make homemade croutons if you like!
