Son has been freezing smoked salmon. So I cubed it (frozen) and tossed the little chunks (after thawing slightly) on my salad with dandelion leaves and Hawthorne Valley Ruby Red Kraut. Different shape, new experience.

Mayonnaise is made of seed oils which are UNsaturated. (You’re lucky if it contains a real egg yolk.) So much ignorance about fats, not to mention the big myth of the alleged Mediterranean diet Ancel Keyes promoted. Read “Real Food: What to Eat and Why.”
