Salmon is a nutrition power food, packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids which we all could use. If you are determined to obtain your omega-3's for the day, but are not up to cooking a whole salmon fillet, prepare this salad which uses pre-packaged pink salmon. Serve on a bed of lettuce, or try it on a whole-grain sandwich bun.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
  • 1 7-oz. pouch boneless, skinless pink salmon, drained
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped (2 Tbsp)
  • 1 green onion, chopped (1 Tbsp)
  • 1 Tbsp low-fat mayonnaise (such as Best Foods)
  • 1/8 tsp dried dill
  • 2 cups salad greens
  • Lemon wedges for garnishing
Preparation:

1. Place the salmon, celery, green onion, mayonnaise, and dried dill in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until the ingredients are mixed well and the mayonnaise coats the salmon.

2. Place one cup of salad greens on each of two plates. Divide the salmon salad into two equal scoops, and place on top of the lettuce. Garnish with lemon wedges.
