Smoked Salmon Salad Over Mixed Greens With Fresh Grapefruit and Oranges
Smoked salmon contains essential omega-3 fatty acids; the grapefruit and oranges offer antioxidant vitamin C, the mixed greens and spinach provide vitamin A, the mushrooms contain selenium and natural antioxidants, and the sunflower seeds supply antioxidant vitamin E and zinc. Look for smoked salmon fillets in the refrigerated seafood department or in shelf-stable pouches near the canned tuna.
