Salmon Salad with Spinach & Brussels
May 08, 2019Meal prep at it's finest! This salad is super quick to throw together for a busy weekday lunch or dinner. It's a staple in my weekly menu and never disappoints! Be sure to get Wild-Caught Salmon so you're consuming beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and astaxanthin — the potent antioxidant pigment that accounts for their red-orange flesh. Stay away from farm-raised salmon!
