Tropical Salmon, Avocado & Pineapple Chopped Salad (Wrap)
Here’s a tropical Latin-inspired chopped salad recipe as part of my Chopped Salad series! Remember, the wrap is optional and you can use whatever type of animal or vegan protein YOU prefer!
Ingredients
- 1 10-inch whole wheat wrap
- 6oz wild salmon fillet, cooked & boneless
- 1 cup endive
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 serving (about 1/8 cup) creamy avocado green chiles dressing
- Creamy Avocado Green Chiles Dressing for 5 servings:
- 1/2 small avocado
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5oz (or three) whole green chiles (canned, with juice)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin
- 2/3 cup fresh cilantro
- pinch of sea salt
- pinches of coarse ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons water (or more if desired to make the dressing less thick)
Steps
Step 1
In a food processor, blend together all the ingredients for the Creamy Avocado Green Chiles dressing until smooth, then season to taste with sea salt & pepper. Place the dressing in an airtight container to enjoy at a later time.
Step 2
Place all the salad ingredients on a large cutting sheet, and using the longest and sharpest knife you have, begin to chop up the salad to desired thickness.
Step 3
Once the salad is chopped, add it to a mixing bowl then add 1 serving of the dressing. Mix the salad together with a spatula, then place some of the contents on whole wheat tortilla. Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the wrap.
Step 4
Enjoy any leftover chopped salad by itself.
