While reading one of my favorite blogs last weekend, Camille Styles, a recipe for a salmon salad was posted and I knew I just had to make it so I added all of the necessary ingredients to my grocery list and picked everything up during my weekly Whole Foods trip.
This salad is packed full of superfoods: avocado, salmon, garlic, kale, lemon, olive oil, blueberries, sunflower sprouts, and walnuts.
These are ingredients I would have never thought to put together and there's something about it that just works. To me, it's like a basket from Chopped. I would have been dumbfounded. The real star of this dish is the vinaigrette, it's sweet, spicy and addictive. While slicing the avocado I would take a piece and dip it in the vinaigrette. So damn good.
Ultra-healthy, flavorful, and filling... make this now. 9 superfoods. 9 superfoods!!
