Refreshing Salmon Cucumber Salad

Day 2 Recipe

Starting off the 30 day challenge right, last night for dinner we had some delicious salmon fillets.  Salmon's a great protein with a strong ratio of high Omega-3 to low Omega-6. 

Fresh dill, grilled asparagus, mmmm. . . 

 I'll post that dinner recipe somewhere down the road!  Back to the recipe at hand.  There was one sad fillet left after we were both full to the brim, so I decided to get creative with lunch today.  From past experience, fish isn't always the best re-heated the next day.  And so this salmon cucumber salad was born.  Enjoy!

Cucumber in the food processor - no cutting board needed!

Ingredients 

• 1 4-6 oz cooked salmon fillet
• 1-2 Tb paleo mayo (I don't typically measure, just add to taste)
• 1/2 cucumber diced
• Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
• Pinch of fresh dill
• Salt to taste

Directions

1. Cut the fillet into smaller chunks and pulse in the food processor.  If you don't have a food processor just roughly chop it into smaller pieces.
2. Put the chopped salmon into the bowl with a tablespoon or two of paleo mayo.  Next add a pinch of fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.  
3. Next dice 1/2 a cucumber either in the food processor or by hand.  It's up to you if you'd rather have larger or smaller chunks.  
4. Mix it all together and season to taste with a little salt and extra lemon juice or dill. You've got a delicious heart-healthy salmon salad!
