Heart-Healthy Salmon Salad with Homemade Strawberry Vinaigrette
This salmon salad recipe is one of our go-to recipes! Not only is it easy to make, but it’s loaded with all those good-for-you fats, like Omega-3s. Did you know that heart health experts recommend consuming two servings of fatty fish per week for healthy adults? This equates to approximately 500 mg of EPA + DHA per day.1-2,‡ Most people don’t consume this much…my family included! While this Heart-Healthy Strawberry Salmon Salad with Homemade Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing is an excellent addition to your weekly meal-plan, you may find that you still need to take a supplement, like me.
How do you decide what is the best Omega-3 supplement for you? You may want to discuss that with your healthcare professional, especially if you have heart concerns. I get the Nature Made® Omega-3 Full Strength Mini, 500mg EPA+DHA, Burp-less supplements at Walmart (Nature Made® offers many “burp-less” Omega-3 supplements, that are specially coated to help prevent a fishy odor and aftertaste). It’s actually the EPA & DHA Omega-3s from fish oil that count and getting them at Walmart has never been easier! EPA + DHA Omega-3s are the active ingredients in fish oil that provide heart healthy benefits.† You can find a selection of Nature Made® Omega-3 supplements at Walmart that clearly call out the amount of EPA & DHA Omega-3s on the front of the label. With this change in labels, Walmart is trying to make it easier for shoppers to navigate the “fish oil” segment and ensure their shoppers are confident they’ve found the right Omega-3 supplement. 
Nature Made® Omega-3 supplements make it easy to meet the recommended dose in as little as one softgel per day, depending on the formula you choose; they’re a great supplement option for healthy adults looking to help support a healthy heart.† And who doesn’t want a healthy heart?! 
Now, while you are at Walmart getting your Nature Made® Omega-3 supplements, grab the ingredients for my Omega-3 rich salad recipe with salmon, roasted walnuts, fresh fruit and my amazing light homemade strawberry vinaigrette salad dressing.
