Salmon salad wrap


Salmon salad wrap

Whole grains and vegetables combine with healthy fats from salmon and olive oil to create a delicious wrap. For many of us, reducing sodium is an important but challenging component of a heart-healthy diet. You can limit sodium in your diet by decreasing reliance on processed foods and always looking for canned items without added salt. Seasoning with herbs, spices, and lemon juice also helps reduce the reliance on salt for flavor.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 5-ounce cans skinless, boneless salmon, drained well
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 12 leaves romaine lettuce, thick ribs removed
  • 4 large 100% whole-wheat tortillas (about 8 inches in diameter)
  • 1/2 cup sliced red peppers
  • 1 large, ripe tomato, halved and sliced

Directions

  1. In medium bowl, combine salmon, parsley, onion, oil, lemon peel, and lemon juice.
