This thyroid-boosting salad is a quick and easy way to get a healthy dose of iodine, which is essential for thyroid hormone production. The salmon is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, while the avocado is a good source of healthy fats and fiber. The red onion and cilantro add a bit of flavor and crunch, and the olive oil and lemon juice dressing helps to bring all the flavors together. This salad is a great option for a light lunch or dinner, and it can be easily customized to your liking.
I've always been a big fan of salmon, and I've been trying to find new and interesting ways to cook it. I also love avocados, so I thought it would be fun to combine the two in a salad. I was looking for a way to make the salad more flavorful, so I added some red onion and cilantro. I also wanted to make the salad more filling, so I added some cooked quinoa. The result is this delicious and healthy thyroid-boosting salad.
