This Tropical Spinach Salad with Roasted Salmon is the definition of flavorful. The tangy and sweet flavors of the fruit mixed with creamy avocado, salty, roasted salmon, and a light citrus burst from organicgirl Lemon Agave salad dressing.
This post was sponsored by organicgirl. As always, the recipe, photos, and opinions are my own. Thank you for your continued support.
Something I have thoroughly enjoyed during my “blogging career” is the local connections I have made in my city. Namely, working with a local blog group.
This month, we are connecting with organicgirl in an awesome campaign titled ‘#GetUrGreenOn’. I am always down for a promotion about healthy eating! And you can’t go wrong with organicgirl good clean greens – they’ve been my favorite for a while.
Through my partnership with organicgirl, I am giving you the chance to win an assortment of organicgirl greens and dressings, so you can make your own green masterpiece!
Quick tip when using this dressing: a little goes a long way, especially for this salad. This salad has so much flavor, that you want to make sure not to douse it with this dressing. It’s a strong flavor of citrus and sweet – just a tad and you’re good to go (that will the bottle will last you longer, too!)

I love how versatile and mild spinach is – it’s my favorite way to get my green on I can throw anything on it for a salad, toss a handful in with some eggs, or sauté it with garlic and olive oil for a super-easy side!

I get my green on and in by eating lots of salads with fresh organic spinach and kale with lots of colorful veggies. I make fresh smoothies adding in baby spinach or baby kale depending on my mood.
