Join the discussionI had this for supper tonight. It was delicious!
I thought salmon was high histamine–unless it’s flash frozen at sea? I didn’t notice any mention of this. Is the information I have incorrect?
thank you
This is absolutely delicious! I found that it had plenty of flavor without the dressing which helped lower the sugar and calorie content. It is by far my favorite lunch recipe. Thank you
Thank you for the feedback, Joanne!
Very good!!
