Pacific Northwest Salmon Salad Bowl with Wild Blueberry Vinaigrette
Total Time: 00h 25m
Makes: 4 servings
Sweet and smoky grilled salmon, toasted hazelnuts, honey crisp apple slices and wild blueberry vinaigrette is the pacific northwest in a bowl. I have chosen to use the Simply Organic sweet and smoky umami blend, but what I love about Frontier Co-op and Simply Organic, there are so many opportunities to mix and match spice blends and spices as your salmon is a blank canvas. Use your tried and true favorite or step out of your comfort zone and try something new. (Thank you to our friend Stacey Swanson for creating this wonderful recipe.)

- 1/2 teaspoon of Frontier Co-op garlic flakes
