Serves: 2 | Serving Size: 1 cup
7-oz can pink salmon with bones, no salt

3 tablespoons low-fat or nonfat mayonnaise
1/4 cup sliced green onion
2 cups dark green lettuce
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Chef’s Tips:
Look for salmon with bones that is canned in water. This version contains more calcium. Keep an eye out for salmon that contains no added salt as well.
You can also serve this dish over pasta, as pictured above. It’s perfect for a quick picnic!
