Easy Omega 3 Salmon Salad with Brown Lentils

A healthy, delicious, and easy Salmon salad is so easy to make, it’s got lots of color and the earthy tones of the brown lentils give it a rustic, farmhouse appeal.
This salad does not need to be expensive given the Salmon ingredient.
I used just one 400g tin of cooked salmon and shredded it by hand. A huge saving and still delicious and full of nutritional value.

Notes

Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days but I don’t think you’ll have any left after day 1.
It’s delicious, filling and loaded with nutritional ingredients. See the nutrition index and nutritional benefits of each ingredient below the recipe.
Remember that salads that coated with dressing (as opposed served on the side) will moisten the greens, so when storing in the fridge it will lose the crisp texture after 1-2 days
