Salmon Apple Feta Salad
All our kitchen had to say was “apple and feta” and we knew they made a great salad. The Taylor Farms Apple Feta Salad Kit combines fresh spinach and spring mix with creamy feta cheese, honey-sweetened almonds, and cinnamon-puffed apples. Light, plant-based, sweet-n-salty—it’s kind of perfect as is, but when you need a little more nutritional oomph, like protein and collagen? Just add fresh salmon fillet, baked in olive oil, lemon slices, and dusted in Italian seasoning. Sprinkle on some sunflower seeds for a finishing touch—and indeed, this salad sings of Italy’s Riviera sun!

A bit about the Mediterranean Diet
Feta and fresh seafood: classic staples of the Mediterranean Diet. Nutritionists love this celebrated way of eating that originates from Mediterranean Sea-spanning regions like Greece, Southern Italy, and Southern Spain. It’s high in healthy oils like freshly pressed olive oils (from local olive trees, of course), fish caught right from the surrounding ocean, sun-ripened vegetables, and local herbs. Our Salmon Apple Feta Salad includes olive oil, fresh lemon slices, and Italian seasoning, evoking a summer in Sardinia where the fish are caught fresh daily and the citrus fragrances the sunny air.
The Mediterranean Diet is a great way to stay healthy—it skips refined carbs and emphasizes fresh proteins, healthy fats, lots of fresh vegetables, and plenty of Omega-3 via fish like salmon, sardine, anchovies, sea bass, and tuna.
That all said, this salad will have you looking ready for the Sicilian beach, which means it’s a great post-workout recovery meal. It’s got the greens and it’s got the gains, and it’s beyond easy to make, just a bag and a bake. For more ideas on what to eat after a workout.
