Simple Summer Salmon Salad

Salmon from a can gives you great flexibility because it is available whenever you decide to use it without fear of it spoiling. Be sure to look for "wild caught" so that it is not farm raised, and you also want all of the bones included for greater calcium and nutrients. This is an omega-3 and lean protein rich meal that comes together in minutes so you can use your summer time to play.
