Crispy Salmon Salad with Creamy Lemon Feta Dressing

21

I drew upon my viral Crispy Salmon Rice Bowls and my Cobb Salad with Creamy Lemon Dressing. Here I’ve combined the two recipes and leveled it up with the dressing. If you haven’t tried adding feta to your salad dressing, you don’t know what you’re missing.

I also substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream in the dressing – didn’t even notice the difference. The yogurt, lemon and dill combination kind of gives it a tsatziki vibe. Of course you can add in Kalamata olives, some sunflower seeds, whatever you like and enjoy in your salad.
