Not all salads were created equal. It's true! Some salads are simply more yummy and filling than others!
Take this salad for instance, it's one of those salads that you consume and to your surprise, 25 minutes later, you're not starving and trying to eat your desk.
...Get caught nibbling on your desk at work once, and people will ignore you at the coffee machine! Trust me, it is not a good situation.
Do you want to lose your work friends? Of course you don't.
Do you want to eat a healthy lunch or dinner that will keep you full? Of course you do!
Do you want a promotion at work? Of course you do!*
Well then, make this salad, become full and satisfied, ooh and ahh over the delicious creation. Then you will make lots of friends, not feel overly full and bloated from eating junky food, and get a raise.*
The end.
**Promotions and raises are not guaranteed by this recipe**

Southwestern Salad with Salmon
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1 salmon fillet, with skin on
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 cups baby spinach rinsed
1/2 cup sweet kernel corn
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 avocado, pitted and diced
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
Salad dressing-
Extra virgin olive oil
1 TBS dried cilantro
1 TBS cumin
1 TBS paprika
1 tsp salt

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rub the salmon with olive oil and top with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Bake (skin side down) for approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending upon the size of the fillet. Once the fillet is finished, and using a fork, flake the salmon.

3. Top the spinach with salmon, avocado, and corn/black bean mixture.
