This traditional "Greek Salad" is served alongside drained and flaked canned salmon and Greek yogurt for a nice meal packed full of super foods. We suggest making the salad ahead of time and keeping a 'pop-top' can in the refrigerator next to it for an easy lunch at work or wherever you need it. The ingredients are easy to find and and prepare and will keep you filled with energy for a long time.
This recipe was one of the first we ever demoed in stores. It is extremely healthy, fresh and so versatile. It makes a nice sandwich or an appetizer for a crowd (as shown in the picture) or even just by itself for a nice high protein lunch.
This a recipe is guaranteed to be a potluck favorite for years to come; it never fails to get multiple recipe requests. It also makes the most delicious lunch or light dinner.

Instructions
Whisk together dressing ingredients in a medium sized bowl and toss with the slaw mix. I like to make this a bit ahead and keep in the refrigerator for an hour or two to let the ingredients come together.
This recipe is seasonally adapatable. In the summertime, fresh blueberries would be a nice substitute for the dried cranberries, while in the winter, the red cranberries, red apple and the parsley suggest the holidays, and both versions supply plenty of vitamins.
Smart Salmon Salad was our first formal recipe card recipe, and delicious it is. It is nutritious beyond compare, to boot. We have tinkered with this recipe which first used tuna. It is great as a dip or as a spread, and it is healthy, healthy, healthy. Don't be put off by the large quantity of parsley or cilantro.
Toss greens and cilantro w/ dressing in serving bowl. Arrange topping over greens and serve.

Whisk all ingredients together and adjust seasonings to taste.
Cashew Cream
Pour enough hot water over cashews to cover by 1 inch and soak for at least 8 hours or overnight
Drain cashews and blend with ½ cup cold water and salt to taste in a high powered blender (if you have a Vitamix or other professional blender that’s great, but my Nutribullet works just fine) and blend until completely smooth and creamy. Store in refrigerator for up to a week.
Wild blueberries grace the banks of many of Alaska’s 600,000 miles of streams and rivers. Those streams and rivers are key to the life of wild salmon. Spawning salmon, with a sense of smell reportedly 30,000 times that of humans, must smell those blueberries lining the bank of their natal stream. Wild blueberries & wild salmon—it is pure food poetry from the beginning to this delicious end.
This is a recipe which is traditionally made with chicken breast but which translates beautifully with Thinkpink and or Redhead. We often serve this at store demonstrations as it is so delicious and surprising.
* Optional tip: Toast the nuts in a 325 degree oven for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently.
Flake the Salmon with a fork being sure to smash the skin and bones up with the fillets for added nutrition. If this seems unappealing to you we suggest just trying it the first time; due to the canning process the bones and skin are undetectable when smashed and mixed in with everything else.
Add remaining ingredients to Salmon and mix until evenly combined. Serve on your favorite bread, alongside crackers or celery sticks or scoop on top of a green salad.
