Combining other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers or broccoli with salmon can actually boost your body's absorption of the healthy fats found in this luscious fish. This is because these veggies are high in vitamin C, which aids in the absorption of omega-3 fatty acids from salmon. So, not only does this duo taste amazing, it also amplifies your health benefits.

Plus, it has no added sugar and zero net carbs per serving! Made with oil, vinegar, and a dash of unadulterated love, this low-calorie, dairy-free delight contains no artificial flavors or coloring.
