Grilled Salmon Salad with Orange-Basil Vinaigrette

Okay! So this is absolutely yummy in your tummy, and it's a really easy to make. I was watching TLC one day during my lunch break (yes, I get one sometimes!) and this was on one of the 30 minute meals. It looked good, so I tried it... and so should you!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed (I would used a little less... and more oil instead)

1 tbs and 1 tsp of cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar works)

1 tsp dried basil (or 1 tbs fresh)

1 1/2 tsp olive oil

1-2 salmon fillet

4 cups mixed greens

3/4 cup sliced strawberries

1/9 tsp ground black pepper

10 thin cucumber slices (I used it the first time... but I like it better without)

(and I added the following to the recipe...)

1/4 cup roasted and salted almond slices

1/3 cup feta cheese

Ready to cook!? Okay!

Mix the orange juice conc., vinegar, basil, pepper, and olive oil. This is your vinaigrette. Set asidde 2 tbls of mixture.

Get salmon... cook it for 5 minutes over medium heat on one side. Brush with the 2 tbls of vinaigrette. Flip the salmon and cook for another 5 minutes. Putting the rest of the 2 tbls vinaigrette.

Grill the almonds, put a little olive oil in it with a dash of salt. Let it crisp.

While that's happening... rinse the lettuce, cut it up, pour vinaigrette all over it (I only use 1/2 of it and leave the rest for people that like more dressing)

Put salad on plates and top with yummy strawberries, feta cheese, almonds, cucumbers (if you used it), and salmon. EAT! It's fabulous.
