Mediterranean Salmon Salad Recipe

Today’s recipe is perfect for a hot summer day, and is very easy if you divide the labor between a fish-griller and a dressing/salad maker(s).

And it’s remarkably well balanced in terms of flavors, textures, colors, and nutrition.

Wild salmon is a super-healthful protein centerpiece providing omega-3s, vitamin D and the powerfully antioxidant red-orange pigment called astaxanthin.

Meanwhile, the tomatoes, red onion, greens, and grains fill in the picture with vibrant hues, ample fiber, “good” carbs, and antioxidant, anti-aging food factors in abundance.
