If you're going to eat a salad, you might as well make it as colorful as possible. I bought raw salmon for $3.40 and usually I make this salad with kale...but spinach was on sale. The secret ingredient for this hearty and filling salad is ginger. I grated some fresh ginger and garlic, sautéed them with 1 tsp of butter over med-low heat for about 15min before adding the salmon.

I seasoned the salmon with black pepper, paprika, and Mango Habanero salsa and lime juice. Add as much of the salsa as you want because you can use it as an oil-free salad dressing. To the bed of spinach, I added red onion, chopped tomatoes and sliced avocado (I sprinkled a little garlic salt on the avocado). The end result can easily be shared between two people. Alright, let's talk prices; The spinach was $1.49, The salmon was $3.40, the jar of salsa $2.99, and the avocado $0.99. Everything else I already had at home, bringing the total to $4.43 per serving. Any tips or tricks on finding cheaper produce in the LA area(or anywhere, really)? Feel free to drop em in the comments section!
