This Salad is quick, easy and delicious any time of year. Please only choose Wild Salmon as the Farm raised Salmon is Genetically Modified and is not really healthy and it is a waste of money. Farmed fish swims in its own excrement in a very limited space, not like and ocean. Wild Salmon is the only fish I eat.
I made huge sandwiches last night with crispy romaine lettuce on toasted ezekiel bread with organic mayo and added chopped tomatoes to the salad mixture. It would be great as a melt with some Jarlsberg cheese and sliced organic pears on the side. This recipe is for 2 servings and must be eaten the same day it's made or it will get watery and unappetizing.
