Making a big batch of this salad is an excellent way to get a bunch of healthy protein and fat, as well as a large serving of vegetables, all in one bowl!

I like to eat this type of “salad” straight from the bowl, and it’s also great to load into lettuce/spinach boats, as well as certain kinds of wraps.

There are about a million variations to this recipe, so feel free to experiment and get creative with your ingredients and spices.

Ingredients:

2 cans of wild caught salmon (we usually get Trader Joe’s brand)

1 avocado

1 Tbsp olive oil

3-4 stalks of celery

1/2 red onion, chopped

1 small apple, chopped (I like the sweeter, crunchy varieties like Fuji and honeycrisp)

Garlic powder to taste (~1/2 tsp)

Salt to taste (sea salt)

1/2 tsp dill

Juice from 1/2 lemon

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the avocado and blend with olive oil

2. Drain cans of salmon and mix into the avocado/olive oil mixture

3. Add remaining ingredients and spices, including lemon juice

4. Enjoy!

Like I mentioned above, there are a lot of ways to get creative with the flavor of this kind of salad. Some examples inlcude: making it “Greek” style with cucumbers and kalamata olives, adding a little kick with ginger and/or pepper (not AIP), or adding other types of fruit, such as grapes.
