Healthy 5 Minute Meal

Many people use the excuse that they don't have time to eat healthy. Yet healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated. Here's a recipe that literally takes about 5 minutes to prepare and is really delicious.

Asian Salmon Salad

1 (7.5 oz) can pink salmon, ideally look for one without bones
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or a sprinkle of powdered ginger
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped scallions, green parts only
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Drain the salmon in a fine-mesh strainer and remove any bones. Place the salmon into a small bowl and use a fork to break it up. Add the ginger, lime juice, scallions, salt, and sesame oil. Mix well and taste. You many want to add a pinch of salt or squeeze of lime. (Source: One Bite At A Time by Rebecca Katz)

Serve the salad over bagged salad greens with some added veggies such as sliced cucumber and carrot. If desired, round out your meal with a small whole grain roll or slice of sprouted bread and a piece of fruit.

The salad makes about 1 cup, which can be divided into 2-4 servings.

Here is the nutrition info (just for the salmon salad) if dividing it into 4 servings.
