Healthy Salmon Burritos

Since I'm trying to remold my middle-aged body with some muscle by lifting weights, I've recently been eating quality protein mini-meals several times a day.

Well, I was in a hurry after my workout recently, so I popped open a 7.5 oz can of Vital Choice Wild Red salmon and then reached into the refrigerator and, perhaps because of Divine Inspiration, grabbed a bottle of jalapeno peppers, a stalk of celery, and a jar of mayonnaise.

I opened the can of Wild Red and smiled with the usual happiness at the quality of the salmon and Omega rich oils as I dumped the contents into a container.

I tossed in a tablespoon of mayonnaise, several teaspoons of chopped jalapenos, and about twice that of chopped celery.

A quick stir and, honestly, I had the most fabulous salmon salad I've ever tasted.

I pulled a couple of big romaine lettuce leaves off the head in the refrigerator, spooned a liberal line of salmon salad down the middle of each leaf and then folded both up like burritos.

My plan was to bring the mini-meal here to my home office to chomp it down while checking my email, but after one bite, I just stood there in the kitchen and ate both of my salmon salad burritos.

Whoa, they were so good, I didn't even want to wait long enough to walk upstairs with them to my office.

Anyway, here are directions for my Salmon Salad Burritos in a simple format for those who like to have printed copies of all their best recipes:

Healthy Salmon Burritos

1 7.5-oz can Vital Choice Wild Red salmon
1 Tbs mayonnaise
2-3 Tbs chopped jalapeno peppers
4-6 Tbs diced celery
Romaine lettuce leaves

Mix everything together, spoon liberal servings down the middle of big Romaine lettuce leaves, fold like burritos, and then enjoy a healthy taste of heaven.

By the way, if you haven't tried Vital Choice Wild Red salmon, now is the time to do so. I promise that once you try wild Alaskan salmon from Vital Choice Seafood, you'll be as crazy about it as I am.

It really is that good, and traditional Wild Red contains ten times the calcium and four times the omega-3s present in commercially processed, twice-cooked canned tuna.
