Super Salmon Salad

Super Salmon Salad

The secret to this salmon salad is in the lemon tea dressing made with black tea. What makes this salad “super” is its powerful mix of flavours such as marinated artichokes, sweet potato, goat cheese and sliced almonds. An appetizing salad that is a meal all on its own.
