I have this crazy craving every few months for a cobb salad. Not sure if it's the bacon or the ranch calling my name but it comes on so strong I won't be satisfied until I get myself a fresh loaded cobb. Naturally, I had to find a way to make a healthier version at home to save money for the wedding, and well to just be healthier! This Salmon Cobb Salad With Vegan Ranch can be whipped up in about 10 minutes. It is better than your local restaurants cobb and it's full of nutrients!

- BERRY SALAD WITH RASPBERRY VINAIGRETTE
- LOADED ARUGULA SALAD WITH MAPLE GARLIC DRESSING
This salad has the perfect amount of crunch and it is full of healthy fats, and filling fiber to keep you satisfied. The vegan ranch is by far one of my favorite dressings. I often make it for salads but also for dipping veggies in! The secret ingredient ~ tahini! If you aren't familiar with tahini you should be. I use it a lot in my recipes because it issue versatile and it creates a beautiful creamy base for dressings. I highly recommend Soom tahini. I have linked it on amazon for you. I order it monthly because we burn through it quickly!
Cooking Salmon In The Airfryer
Yes you read that right! We are going to cook the fish in the air fryer for this recipe. Of course if you don't have one, use a skillet or grill and cook for about 4 -5 minutes each side. If you are using the air fryer (which is my preferred method) you will want to set it to 390 and cook for 10 -11 minutes.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! In fact I encourage it if you don't eat it too often. I skipped the bacon because 1. it's messy 2. takes awhile to cook 3.It's healthier without the bits of bacon! But you can absolutely make this more traditional with some bites of crispy bacon.

This is such a delicious salad. I only wish I was able to make my Salmon as pretty as yours.

This recipe was easy and delicious! Thank you. What ranch seasoning do you recommend?
Bailey
I use the Simply Organic Mix or Primal Palate mix - Both are dairy free, good ingredients and tasty like Ranch seasoning should be 😉 So happy you enjoyed it!

When you say cook at 390 does it matter what setting? My air frier has options to fry, bake, and etc.
Bailey
I usually do bake or the air fry option and they come out similar.
