Oats Free Salmon and Cucumber Salad

This bright, refreshing salad is the kind of dish that feels like a restaurant plate but comes together with nothing more than a handful of fresh ingredients and a simple poaching technique. Ginger-infused water gently cooks the salmon until it's silky and tender, then it gets flaked into generous chunks and folded with crisp cucumber, creamy avocado, and a handful of fragrant herbs. The apple cider vinegar and olive oil dressing ties everything together with a light, zippy finish that lets the produce and fish shine without weighing anything down. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from oats and oat derivatives — no grains, no fillers, no hidden thickeners to second-guess. That matters more than it might seem, since dressings and packaged proteins are common places for unexpected oat-based additives to sneak in. Making the dressing yourself from scratch with vinegar, olive oil, honey, and fresh ginger means you stay in full control of what goes into the bowl. It's a clean, satisfying meal that works just as well for a weeknight dinner as it does for impressing guests at a summer lunch.
