Salmon Salad Recipe

Here’s a healthy salmon salad recipe to try. During citrus season, why not highlight those refreshing flavors to create this easy and satisfying salad? This recipe is from Dr. Mark Hyman’s new website.

Citrus fruits are abundant in vitamin C for a strong immune system and healthy skin, and they’re rich in beneficial anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, including over 60 varieties of flavonoids, carotenoids, and essential oils.

Just one cup of Lacinato kale contains all the vitamin A you need in a day along with lots of vitamins K, C, and B6 as well as manganese, copper, calcium, and magnesium. It’s an excellent vegetable to support eye health, immunity, a balanced gut, and to fight free radicals.

Canned wild-caught salmon adds some zero-prep protein to this salad and pairs well with the tangy lemon, lime, and orange juice in the marinade.
