Salmon Salad with NAKANO Vinegar

I grew up in a place where fish are plentiful. Fish is always a part of our daily meal. There are different kinds of fish that is available in our locality and we cooked it in different ways, that is why, we never get tired of eating fish.

When I got here in the USA, I was disappointed that the choices of fish is very limited. The only good thing that came out of the little choice that I have is, I learned to enjoy cooking different recipe using salmon.

One of my secrets for healthy cooking is using NAKANO All Natural Seasoned Vinegar. This vinegar has subtle and distinctive taste. It is made from real rice thus it is all natural, fat free, low calorie, gluten free, and has 50% less sodium. This vinegar is really great for Salmon Salad. NAKANO All Natural Seasoned Rice Vinegar can also be used as healthy alternative to salad dressing, butter or sour cream. I encourage you to join NAKANO Splash Recipe Club and find out how you can Save $1 on Nakano Rice Vinegar.
