Salmon Salad with Summer Vegetables and Za’atar Dressing
The Za’atar strikes back in this amazing grilled salmon salad with fresh farmers market vegetables!
I taught this fantastic recipe in our Healthy On You® online cooking class today and we had so much fun cooking together. I am still in awe of everyone cooking away in their own kitchens. It’s hard enough cooking sometimes, but having to keep up with me, well, that can be challenging. You have to do some prep work ahead of time but it is soooo worth it😋
Seriously, though, this salad was great and didn’t require a ton of ingredients. Our Healthy On You While My Za’atar Gently Weeps spice blend rocked it in the dressing. And if you are vegan or vegetarian, swap out the salmon for tofu.
