Talk about eating with your eyes – isn’t this pretty?
When I started my cross fit journey, my mom gave me a few beautiful cookbooks full of delicious recipes. This particular recipe is adapted from The Paleo Kitchen by Juli Bauer & George Bryant. The original recipe calls for red onion in the salsa but my kids like it better without. If you like red onion, definitely throw some in there!
This Sweet Salmon with Pomegranate Fruit Salsa is a feel good meal. Literally, I feel good after I eat it. And satisfied. This is so yummy! Time to dig in!
