Healthy & Nutritious Warm Weather Meals
Here is a quick, nutritious meal for warm weather: Fresh Salmon Salad (no Mayo)
One can Wild Red Sockeye Salmon (fresh cooked salmon is even better)
One grated carrot
Chopped red pepper (one half or more of the pepper)
Chopped English Cucumber (less seeds) 1/4 to 1/2 cucumber)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil about 2-3 tablespoons
Zest of one whole Lemon
Fresh Lemon Juice about 1/2 of a juicy lemon or more.
Pinch of salt and pepper
Fresh, chopped parsley or mint (optional) Favorite herb can be used as well. Perhaps chopped fresh chives, too.
Open and drain the salmon from can.
Take out large bones and skin.
In a large serving bowl, put the salmon and chopped veggies, olive oil, lemon juice and zest. Mix well. Sprinkle fresh herb(s) on top for color and pop of flavor.
Serving suggestions: Place fresh salmon salad on bed of Boston or Romaine Lettuce along with cherry tomatoes. Or, prepare individual pita pocket sandwiches, regular or whole grain pita bread. (Small pita with just a tiny slice off the top for the openning; or one- half of a large pita.)
Add tall glasses of iced water with floating slice of fresh lemon for a refreshing drink and the meal is complete.
