In a large bowl, combine the red onion with olive oil, 1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon remaining Dijon, garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste; let it sit about 5 minutes, so the flavor of the onion mellows.

Add the tomatoes, avocado and toss. When ready to serve, toss in chopped lettuce and cabbage, finish with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar, taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed.

Divide the salad in 4 bowls and top each with salmon.

Place all ingredients except the cilantro in a blender, and blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Add the cilantro and blend again. Taste, and adjust jalapeno, honey, and lime to your taste.

Grill

Brush each piece of salmon with olive oil, then lightly season each side with salt, chili powder and cumin. Place the salmon on a greased, hot grill. Check after 2-3 minutes for grill marks, then turn. Continue grilling for a few more minutes, to medium (or your preferred doneness), and turn the heat off.

In a large mixing bowl, toss arugula, cucumber, and onions with a little dressing (you won&#8217;t need all) then fold in the avocado, tomatoes, half the pumpkin seeds, and half the Cotija cheese. Taste and add salt if needed.

Place on a serving platter or in a big wide serving bowl (or divide among four plates), and top with the salmon.

Sprinkle with remaining pumpkin seeds, Cotija cheese, and cilantro leaves. Serve immediately.

Lovely, healthy, creamy. A perfect way to eat Salmon.

What a healthy, delicious way to enjoy grilled salmon as a whole meal salad!  Satisfying in every way. The perfect summer dinner.

OH mylanta...this ticks all the right boxes. The dressing is the perfect jewel on this crown of a salmon dinner. Get a little crispy edge on the grilled salmon paired with the creamy cheese and your mouth is doing a happy dance!  Move this one to the top of the list.

The cilantro lime dressing is AMAZING! Love the combination of flavors!

Salmon with Creamy Cilantro Lime dressing is a 5 star. I love fresh green herbs and veggies when I grill Salmon. Lemon adds the tang to the freshness. Delicious!

Absolutely delish. Will become a once a week favourite over summer

We tried the grilled salmon with cilantro dressing......D-LISH-US!!!

I've tried several recipes......all very good and healthy, which is a big plus!  

Since I discovered Feasting at Home, our meals are probably 80% plant-based.  THANK YOU!

The perfect balance of creamy perfection! Light, crisp and full of flavor. This is at the top of my salmon recipe list.

I can’t wait to try this recipe!
We have already had the dressing and it is smazing!!!

Delicious and perfect summer salad with fresh grilled salmon! Yummmmm

Thank you for a delicious dinner recipe!!

This was so delicious! Can’t wait to make it again!

Wow! This is excellent. The flavors compliment each other beautifully. I used feta (couldn’t find cojita locally), a regular cucumber sliced quite thinly, and served it on baby spinach fresh from our garden. It worked beautifully. Highly recommend.
One question which actually applies to all recipes on your site: When one of your recipes calls for salt, do you mean table salt or Kosher salt? Most culinary recipes in my experience tend toward using Kosher salt. There’s a huge difference!

Made this grilled salmon salad as a light meal for friends on the deck last week, paired with a pinot noir rosé, and followed with a summer berry compote. Simple, colorful, and delicious. A little dressing goes a long way, and the remaining dressing added YUM to sandwiches and veggies over the next few days.
