Dr. Pratt's SuperFoods Salad

We admire the approach to health taken by Dr. Steven Pratt in his new book, SuperFoods HealthStyle, which features fresh, whole, unprocessed foods high in key anti-aging nutrients—like omega-3s—and "functional factors", such as the antioxidant pigments that make so many colorful fruits and vegetables especially healthful. We're featuring his SuperFoods Salad recipe, but have added one of his 17 super foods—wild salmon—to the mix. You can also add a handful of your favorite chopped fresh herbs and a tablespoon of Parmesan.
