Salmon Salad With Cheesy Bread Sticks
- Ingredients
- 1 ounce Neufchatel cheese
- 8 whole wheat bread sticks
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- 4 5-ounce salmon fillets
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 6 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- Directions
- 1. Microwave the Neufchatel in a bowl until just warm, about 10 seconds; stir until smooth. Roll one end of each bread stick in the cheese and sprinkle with chives. Set aside.
- 2. Add 1 inch water to a skillet and bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain; run under cold water. Cut into bite-size pieces.
- 3. Sprinkle the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Coat a grill pan with cooking spray. Add salmon and cook over medium-high heat 4 minutes per side.
- 4. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and remaining salt. Combine the greens, grapes, and asparagus; toss with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Drizzle remaining dressing over the warm salmon.
- 5. Divide the salad among four plates; top each plate with a salmon fillet and two bread sticks.
