Ladies and gents, this salad is definitely one of my new favourites!
Let me walk you through why you need this in your life!
This vibrant salad is a delicious and refreshing addition to your week, offering a mix of textures and flavors. The crispy rice adds a satisfying crunch, while the wild salmon provides a rich, savory note, balanced perfectly with the fresh, crisp vegetables like cucumber, cabbage, and green onion. The addition of edamame and raw almonds brings a nutty depth and plant-based protein, making this salad both filling and nutrient-packed.
In terms of fertility, this salad is a powerhouse of supportive nutrients. Wild salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential for hormone regulation and reducing inflammation, which is crucial for fertility. Raw almonds provide vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that supports egg health. Edamame offers a plant-based source of protein and folate, a key nutrient for reproductive health, while the leafy greens and cabbage are high in antioxidants and fiber, promoting hormone balance and supporting detoxification pathways that are important for fertility. This salad not only tastes great but also provides valuable nutrients for reproductive wellness.
