Summer Corn, Tomato, and Salmon Salad With Za’atar Dressing

(55)
There’s no better season than summer to let fresh produce shine with minimal fuss. This zesty salad uses one pot of simmering seasoned water to cook fresh sweet corn and then silky salmon. Toss it all in a one-step za’atar dressing with juicy tomatoes, sliced onions, and fresh greens, and you’ve got a bright but hearty lunch or dinner.
“In-season heirloom tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, an antioxidant which may lower LDL cholesterol levels,” adds dietitian and heart health coach Heather Shasa, MS, RDN, CDCES. “Consuming fatty fish which contain more unsaturated than saturated fat, such as salmon, can also help support HDL (good) cholesterol levels.” This makes this summer salad a particular fit for those keen on improving their heart health. To make it even more beneficial, scantily salt your boiling liquid and add just a dash of salt to your dressing. No matter what, you’ll feel the summertime sunshine in every bite.
