This Greek Salmon Salad is my go to meal when I want something wholesome and impressive without spending hours in the kitchen. With just 45 minutes from start to finish, it comes together so easily that I find myself making it at least twice a week. The star here is the salmon, which is packed with omega 3 fatty acids that are wonderful for your heart and brain health. I love how the crisp cucumber and bell pepper play against the creamy Greek yogurt dressing, all brightened up with fresh parsley and tangy feta. It's simple enough for a weeknight dinner but elegant enough to serve to guests, and it won't break the bank either.
