Blackberry Salmon Salad Recipe
Blackberry Champagne Salmon, round two!
I love leftovers and extending meals throughout the week. Everyone likes to save money, and using leftovers in a new way makes "cents." :)
Our children, on the other hand, are not a fan of leftovers. Maybe it is the word "leftover" that turns them off. It's funny to watch as they stare at the open refrigerator pondering whether new food will magically appear, until I mention, "Hey, there's leftover salmon in the frig." They wrinkle their noses. Little do they know that many of our weekly meals are reconstituted leftovers in some form;)
When I saw the leftover Blackberry Champagne Salmon from the night before, I immediately thought of this lovely light salad with mixed greens, crisp cucumbers, sweet strawberries and blackberries, and fresh tomatoes, all adorned with a tangy Blackberry Poppyseed Dressing, just perfect for Mom. (Our children and my husband are not fans of salads either, but don't worry, they found something else to eat:) Leftovers, check!
If you are looking for a tasty meal for double duty the next day, consider making this delicious Blackberry Champagne Salmon (featuring Cherchies® Champagne Mustard, Cherchies® Blackberry Preserves, and Cherchies® Garlic Seasoning Blend) on day one, then use the leftovers in this flavorful salad the next day. You will not be disappointed.
