Alaskan Pollock Southwestern Salad with Avocado Dressing
Alaskan Pollock Southwestern Salad with Avocado Dressing- an easy, flavorful Tex-Mex dish that will knock your socks off! Made with delicious Wild Alaskan Pollock Burgers, black beans, corn, juicy tomatoes and topped with irresistible homemade avocado dressing, it’s the perfect swap for a hamburger when you want a healthier meal this summer.
These Alaskan Pollock burgers were a completely new-to-me product, but have become a fast favorite of my whole family. I sure am glad I decided to give them a try when I came across them at Costco last weekend. They have a wonderful mild flavor and cook evenly, with the perfect texture, in less than 10 minutes. They would be fabulous served up on a bun, or even in a tortilla, but who can resist this gorgeous Alaskan Pollock Southwestern Salad? You know I can’t!
Containing all of the health benefits of seafood, these Alaskan Pollock Burgers are a fantastic alternative to beef burgers. They’re naturally packed with healthy Omega-3s, so easy to cook up and honestly “made” this salad. The avocado dressing is also a must. You may remember it from my Healthy Cherry Almond Broccoli Salad. I’ve been putting it on pretty much everything since making that salad.
This southwestern salad makes the perfect meal when you want something substantial but healthy on the table fast (story of my life). I hope you guys love this 20-minute, nutrient-packed, gluten free dinner as much as I do! It’s:
Fast
Easy
Flavorful
Veggie-packed
Protein- and fiber-rich
Super healthy
Crowd-pleasing
& Delicious
