Healthy Cobb Seafood Salmon Salad
By the QuiteRecipes team (Jamy & Kaïna) | Food Service Professional, Early Childhood Expert & Parents
An original Cobb salad replacing chicken with salmon, complemented by fresh corn, avocado and a herbed lemon dressing.
This seafood twist on the classic Cobb swaps in salmon for a bowl that feels rich and stays bright. Crisp corn, crunchy vegetables, and a tangy lime-herb dressing keep it fresh while the fish does the protein work. Salad that actually holds up as a meal.
