Notes
- Save any leftover dressing for future salads or as a marinade for meat, like chicken.
- Romaine lettuce works well in this recipe, but feel free to use any of your favorite lettuces.
- For the best flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Store salmon, vegetables, and dressing separately in airtight containers for 2-3 days.
- When selecting avocados, choose ones that are ripe but not mushy. Give them a gentle squeez if they yield slightly, they're ripe; if they feel mushy, they're overripe.
