Tips & Tricks
For extra flavor, you can grill the salmon instead of cooking it on the stovetop.
Make sure to use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for a richer taste, but drain them well before adding to the salad.
You can substitute mixed nuts with your favorite type of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts.
If you prefer a creamier dressing, add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the Mediterranean dressing.

How can I make this salad dairy-free?
To make the salad dairy-free, omit the feta cheese or replace it with a dairy-free alternative.
