This Pacific Northwest-inspired salmon quinoa salad is one of my favorite healthy lunches. Flaky salmon is served over mixed greens with quinoa, blueberries, toasted pecans, pickled red onions, and a simple lemon Dijon dressing. It's packed with protein, healthy fats, and fresh seasonal flavor, making it an easy meal for lunch or a light summer dinner.

This is how I make enchilada soup when I actually want it to be as nutritionally beneficial as it is good. I start with two bone-in chicken legs, sear them, and build a real broth instead of using stock from a box. Then I layer in smoky chipotle, tomatoes, beans, and corn to turn it into a simple, filling soup that feels like a full meal.
