Salmon and Avocado Salad

I can’t say enough about how good this salad is. Salmon, tomatoes, avocado, and arugula tossed with a simple lemon vinaigrette dressing. It’s nutrient dense with protein, omega 3s, antioxidants such as vitamin A and lycopenes, and lots of healthy fats. It’s almost effortless to prepare and is filling enough to eat as your main course.
