Asian Salad With Salmon

Submitted by kitchenslave03

"From Everyday Food. You can leave out the almonds and dried apricots, or substitute other types of nuts and dried fruit, such as cashews or peanuts and mango or pineapple. I haven't tried it yet, but I think scallions would be nice to stand in for the sweet onion, and I would probably add some fresh cilantro."
