This Salmon Salad with Potatoes and Green Beans is super easy to make, very filling, and one of my favorite salad recipes ever. A simple citrus dressing completes it.

When I think of healthy food, the first thing I think of is salad.  If we were all playing a game of Scattergories together, & the category was health food – salad would be the thing most of us said first.
I wanted to do a salad – a not-so-boring salad at that.  Something that I could enjoy every bite of, and look forward to having again. Truth is, I can’t say that about many.
 
With the addition of salmon, potatoes, & green beans – it turns an ordinary salad into the real meal deal.  You can use it with fresh salmon or even a pack of already cooked salmon (although obviously fresh tastes best).
