Southwest Salmon Salad

Give this a try for something different!

1 5oz package of salmon
1 C plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup sweet onion finely chopped
1/2 cup celery finely chopped

Seasonings to desired taste- start small and add for desired flavor
Kosher salt
Cracked pepper
Garlic powder
Cumin
Chili powder
Cayenne pepper
Cilantro
*optional- 2 TBS chia seed
*optional- craisins

Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

This is my take on salmon salad.  I am not a fan of mayonnaise, so I generally shy away from these types of "salads", however, I decided to try one using Greek yogurt instead.  You could go nuts with this by adding nuts, you could add shredded cheese, you could add mustard!  Anything you want.  I served this on rye bread on a bed of spinach... yum!

The healthy part of this can't be fully appreciated.  You've got healthy proteins which are low in fat, you've got omega 3s coming out the wazoo, and there are even vegetables involved!

Give it a try and enjoy!
