from Sarah

Sarah’s note: I cut the kernels off the corn before I cooked it, and I just tossed them in with the green beans to boil for a few minutes. I didn’t have scallions so I diced a little bit of red onion, and I think cilantro tastes like soap so I skip that — but I imagine you could substitute parsley or another herb, too.

This is also an easily deconstructed meal for kids/picky eaters — I gave the cooked veggies and salmon to the girls before I added the dressing, and Brad would prefer to have his salmon separate and undressed, as well.
