3 reasons why it’s heart healthy:

  1. Salmon, avocado and olive oil are rich in heart healthy fats.
  2. Vegetables and salad leaves are rich in fibre, consuming lots of fibre has a beneficial impact on cholesterol levels.
  3. Salmon is a great source of protein which helps us feel fuller for longer and can help stop us consuming too many calories.

Recipe by Amie Leckie
