Salmon Avocado Boats

Our Salmon-Stuffed Avocado Boats feature two superfood ingredients that not only taste great together but provide a healthy dose of heart-healthy fat and other beneficial nutrients. Salmon packs a boatload of essential omega-3 fatty acids, which help to boost heart and brain health.

  • ½ cup celery, finely chopped

  • 1 Tbsp. lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • ¼ tsp. cumin
