Spicy Salmon Salad
This Spicy Salmon Salad is a great change of pace from the common lunch option, tuna salad. The salmon adds a deeper, fishier flavor, and the chopped cucumber and avocado offer a cool, creamy taste that’s perfect against the zing of the Tabasco. This satisfying meal is also packed with protein, vitamins, minerals, and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. What’s not to love?
