In case you missed it last week, it snowed in Colorado. It’s the latest I’ve seen it snow since we moved here 4 years ago. While everyone else was posting pictures on Instagram sitting outside, swimming, wearing shorts and sandals, I was pulling out the winter coat…again. Growing up in Arizona, sometimes it’s still surreal to me that it can snow in May. Hopefully…knock on wood, that was the last of it.

The saying around here is that you wait until Memorial Day to plant your garden, and luckily I was smart and held off. My plan is to attack the garden this weekend. In the past I’ve had a lot of success with zucchini, tomatoes, sugar snap peas and basil.

This year I’m planning to try cauliflower, beets and cucumbers as well. It’s such a satisfying feeling being able to make something with the things you grow and this Salmon and Green Vegetable Salad with Green Goddess Dressing will be perfect for this year’s harvest.

During the warm months I’m all about salads, but I need a variety of them. I can’t just eat the same salad every day or I lose interest. I like to pack my salads full of as many different vegetables as I can. It not only gives them more flavor and texture, but more nutrients as well. If I’m having a salad as a main dish it’s almost always topped with some kind of protein. Grilling chicken or salmon are my favorites, but sometimes I’m short on time or forget to pull it out of the freezer to defrost and that’s where Gorton’s Seafood Classic Grilled Salmon comes in handy.

Gorton’s Seafood has been providing consumers with their trustworthy products for 167 years. It’s easy to spot their products at the grocery store, just look for the iconic fisherman in the yellow raincoat. You might remember a couple months ago when I made these Crispy Fish Taco Bowls using Gorton’s classic line, they’re great for an easy weeknight dinner and a fun way to change up taco night.

I recently discovered that they also have other lines of products and was particularly drawn to their Classic Grilled Salmon. The salmon is wild caught and gluten-free as well. At only 90 calories per serving and 15 grams of protein, it’s a great way to turn this Green Vegetable Salad with Green Goddess Dressing into a main dish salad.

I’ll be enjoying this easy and healthy salad all summer long and I’m especially excited to make it when all the green vegetables start popping up in my garden!
