Today I am just sharing an idea for my Tarragon Salmon as a salad. I made the salmon per the recipe but broke it up over some mixed greens with fresh grated parmesan cheese, baby portabella mushrooms, grape tomatoes, and Ken's Light Poppy Seed dressing. It was an awesome and a very filling salad!!

You should give it a try!!
