My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
Here’s a tropical Latin-inspired chopped salad recipe as part of my Chopped Salad series! Remember, the wrap is optional and you can use whatever type of animal or vegan protein YOU prefer!
Tropical Salmon, Avocado & Pineapple Chopped Salad (Wrap)
- 1 10-inch whole wheat wrap
- 6oz wild salmon fillet, cooked & boneless
- 1 cup endive
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
- 1/3 cup chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 1 serving (about 1/8 cup) creamy avocado green chiles dressing
- Creamy Avocado Green Chiles Dressing for 5 servings:
- 1/2 small avocado
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5oz (or three) whole green chiles (canned, with juice)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin
- 2/3 cup fresh cilantro
- pinch of sea salt
- pinches of coarse ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons water (or more if desired to make the dressing less thick)
- In a food processor, blend together all the ingredients for the Creamy Avocado Green Chiles dressing until smooth, then season to taste with sea salt & pepper. Place the dressing in an airtight container to enjoy at a later time.
- Place all the salad ingredients on a large cutting sheet, and using the longest and sharpest knife you have, begin to chop up the salad to desired thickness.
- Once the salad is chopped, add it to a mixing bowl then add 1 serving of the dressing. Mix the salad together with a spatula, then place some of the contents on whole wheat tortilla. Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the wrap.
- Enjoy any leftover chopped salad by itself.
