I tagged this recipe to make and I am so glad I did the maple dijon dressing is awesome and we really enjoyed the whole dish. I love salmon and asparagus so for us this was a great combination. I am the first person to review this recipe but I did not change a thing to what is listed below apart from throwing in some avocado as well. To view the original please click here.
Ingredients
Maple-Dijon Dressing
1/3 Cup maple-flavored syrup
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Salad
1 lb Salmon fillet (1/2 inch thick)
1 lb Fresh asparagus spear
4 Cups baby greens
1 Cup shredded carrot (about 1 1/2 medium)
1 Hard-cooked egg, cut into 8 wedges
Fresh ground black pepper
Method
1. Heat gas or charcoal grill.
2. In small bowl, mix all Maple-Dijon Dressing ingredients with wire whisk.
3. Cut salmon crosswise into 4 pieces. Brush salmon with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. In large bowl, toss asparagus and 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Place asparagus in grill basket (grill “wok”).
4. When grill is heated, place asparagus and salmon, skin side down, on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook asparagus 7 to 10 minutes and salmon 10 to 15 minutes, shaking grill basket or turning asparagus occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender and salmon flakes easily with fork.
5. Slide pancake turner between salmon and skin to remove each piece from skin. On 4 plates, divide salad greens, carrots and egg. Top with asparagus then the salmon. Sprinkle with pepper. Serve with remaining dressing.

This is yet another recipe I have made for the swap I am in this month and is yet another recipe that I have rally enjoyed, It is a really simple and tasty chicken salad to put together. I cooked a seasoned chicken breast per person because I had to use them up, but using a BBQ chook would make this so quick to throw together and that perfect after work meal. I also served our salad greens on the side, as my hubby is not the biggest salad lover and ends up leaving most of the greens. I doubled the dressing too as I was making this for 3 people. I will look forward to making this one again this summer as it is really healthy, light and refreshing salad. To see more photos of this recipe or to read more reviews please click here.
