Grilled Salmon with Avocado Salsa

I thought I would share some of my whole 30 recipe successes - and this is a great place for me to find them later!

First success was yesterday - Day 12 of my whole 30 challenge.  Yup - I have not had the energy to cook meals in             F O R E V E R          and yesterday I tried this one.....  Plus, I am feeling a little bit of pressure to make some nice meals for my daughter who is leaving in 10 days to serve a mission for 18 months in Burmingham England...

It was SO great!  Husband was gone, but all 5 kids RAVED about it!  A definite keeper in the recipe box.
