Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking the salmon. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or grill for 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through.
Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, then cool under cold water, peel, and slice.
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens, chop roughly, and place in a large bowl. Add halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and sliced red onion.
Dice the avocado and set aside to prevent browning.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Flake the cooked salmon into large chunks and add to the salad bowl along with diced avocado, sliced eggs, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat without mashing the avocado.
Serve immediately on individual plates or family-style in the bowl.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to two days. Keep dressing separate until ready to eat.
