A salad truly becomes a meal when you add some protein. Wild Alaskan Salmon is our favorite seafood, and it's rich in anti-inflammatory omega 3's and the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin. Paired with fresh berries and served over spring greens really ramps up the antioxidants and nutritional value. The beet dressing adds to the overall skin-loving content of this dish.
