Asian salmon salad is a take on tuna salad over a bed of fresh greens topped with corn, edamame, and cherry tomatoes with sesame ginger vinaigrette drizzled over top. This super simple no cook meal prep recipe is a favorite for lunches. The fresh vegetables balance out the salmon, mayonnaise, and red onion which packs a flavorful punch that is sure to be unique in your meal routine. This is a perfect summer time meal that can be eaten chilled or at room temp and takes no time to prepare when meal prepping or at lunch when you’re eating.

This is a perfect recipe for anyone that loves tuna or chicken salad and is looking for a new twist on it. The salty, buttery flavor of the salmon pairs perfectly with the sesame ginger vinaigrette for a light meal that fills you up quickly. It’s also a great source of protein and a way to sneak greens into your meals if you’re not a fan of the flavor of green vegetables.
