I made salmon for dinner tonight and this is one of my favorite things to do with leftover salmon. It’s a “recipe” I made up, so I apologize for the lack of exact ingredients and proportions. You can really use any type of grain…I usually make it with Israeli couscous, but this week I’m going to try it with quinoa. I’m a big fan of the wild caught Thai chili salmon from Trader Joe’s.

Ingredients
Salmon 1 fillet, cooked and shredded
Grain of your choice, cooked
1 cup chick peas, drained and rinsed
Vegetables of your choice, chopped (I like peppers, cucumber, shredded carrots)
Feta
Kalamata olives (this can easily be omitted if you are anti-olive)
Red wine vinegar
Olive oil
Directions
1. Mix ingredients together.
2. Toss with red wine vinegar and olive oil. I like a 3:1 ratio of vinegar to oil, but it depends on your taste.
3. Enjoy!
