Receta Chef's Salmon Salad
Salmon is a tasty and nutritious protein alternative from mainline chef salad meats/cheeses. Keep New Year's resolutions and serve the recipe also for lenten meals by treating yourself to this easy and healthy main dish salad. Now about the salmon: fresh grilled would be wonderful, but canned salmon is so handy I usually take the easy way out. I prefer wild red sockeye canned w/bones, because there is nearly 8 times the calcium (600 mg calcium w/bones to 80 mg boneless per 4.4 ounce serving size.) Just drain the salmon, gently remove skin (save it for the cat or dog) and crumble the bones into salmon. NOTE: If this makes too much for your purposes, cut recipe down using “Number of Servings” feature and use remaining fish for Salmon Patties (see Useful Links below.)
