3 reasons why it’s heart healthy:
- Salmon, avocado and olive oil are rich in heart healthy fats.
- Vegetables and salad leaves are rich in fibre, consuming lots of fibre has a beneficial impact on cholesterol levels.
- Salmon is a great source of protein which helps us feel fuller for longer and can help stop us consuming too many calories.
Salmon and feta salad
A quick, light lunch option packed with heart healthy fats and fibre. The addition of roasted vegetables makes it feel heartier (pardon the pun) and adds depth of flavour.
