Gluten Free Chopped Salmon Salad

This gluten free salmon chopped salad was inspired by the Stetson salad at Cowboy Ciao.  I totally copied this recipe and made it my own from ordering it there!  I used to love getting it made gluten free!  You can substitute any of the ingredients to make it your own! ​

Happy Thursday!  I hope your week is going well and your weekend will be even better!  I’m looking forward to the weekend!  This is my copycat of the Cowboy Ciao Stetson Salad.   I changed some of the ingredients to make it gluten free but it is just as delicious!  They use couscous which is not gluten free so I switched it up!  You could substitute the couscous for rice or quinoa if you still wanted to have a grain.  

HERE ARE SOME OTHER SUBSTITIUTION IDEAS:

You could add dehydrated corn for the crunch instead of or in addition to the dehydrated blueberries, if you like dehydrated corn. 
You could add in tomatoes, or roasted tomatoes.
I think roasted red peppers would also be delicious! 
Assiago Cheese would be a nice addition too!
Avocado would add in some delicious healthy fat! 
You could use other types of smoked fish.  I haven’t tried that yet, but smoked trout would also be yummy!
Fresh herbs like dill would be lovely to sprinkle over the top of the salmon.  
I like to serve it with a homemade dill ranch dressing which I think goes really well with the smoked slamon, but you can use any dressing you like too!
I hope you enjoy it!
This gluten free smoked salmon chopped salad is so quick to make and it is beautiful to serve.  I usually serve it in columns like the picture so people can leave out ingredients that they don’t like.  However, everyone in my house loves this salad!
