This salmon salad recipe will become one of your favorite ways to eat salad! If you’re tired of eating boring salads, you need to make this Strawberry Fields salmon salad recipe!
So one night, Jas and I happened to get a babysitter! This doesn’t happen EVER. We are a boring old couple and ran some errands that needed to be done. We both put them off because going into a store with 3 kids ends up in someone screaming because we told them no candy, someone gets upset that they didn’t get to ride in the cart or someone gets mad because they just wanted to stay home! Please, PLEASE, tell me I’m not alone here!
After our errands were completed, we sat in the truck, debating on where we would go for dinner. It just so happened to be Cinco de Mayo, so we opted out for mexican food because all those restaurants were probably slammin’ at 8 o’clock at night! Jas LOVES the Rusty Bucket and we typically forget that the restaurant is right down the road from us…and headed there!
We eargerly awaited our 20 minute wait time with a Blue Moon and Patron Margarita’s in hand. Our table was ready and we both agreed to try the Spinach Con Queso. It wasn’t anything spectacular, but, we did eat it all! Now, I’ve been eating “right”. And what I mean by that is healthy. Before my foot surgery I lost over 50 pounds by eating right and exercising. The depression took over after surgery and I let it get the best of me.

I realize that I may not be able to exercise like I want to right now, but, at least being active and eating right will play a part in how I can start to feel good about myself again. Jas said that I needed to “cheat” and I didn’t agree. If I cheated then, I’d cheat tomorrow and the next day and it would spiral out of control really freakin’ fast.
When I dived into the menu and saw the Blackened Salmon Salad I knew I needed to put that in my mouth! I ordered that baby up and was sure to substitute the blue cheese crumbles for feta, because I don’t roll with the blue!
