Ingredients

- 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup cooked corn kernels fresh or frozen
- 1 avocado diced
- 4 hard-boiled eggs sliced

- 3 tbsp olive oil for dressing
- 1 tbsp lemon juice for dressing
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard for dressing
- 1/2 tsp honey for dressing

Instructions
- Cook the Salmon: Start by seasoning the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. You can grill, bake, or pan-sear them until they flake easily with a fork. Make sure to let them cool slightly before flaking into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Salad Base: While the salmon is cooking, chop the romaine lettuce and arrange it in a large serving bowl or platter—a vibrant base to showcase the other ingredients.
- Add the Toppings: Next, arrange the flaked salmon, halved cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, diced avocado, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and red onions in sections over the lettuce. This creates a visually appealing presentation that’s sure to impress!
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper for the dressing. This will add a fragrant zing to your salad!
- Drizzle & Serve: Pour the dressing over the salad, and gently toss everything together, or serve it in sections as is. Garnish with fresh dill to elevate the flavors and the presentation.
