My mother always said it was important that each meal be filled with as much color as possible. "Eat a rainbow," she'd say. This healthy salad recipe would not only make mom proud, but it's packed with flavorful good-for-you-ingredients like endive, kale, avocado, pink grapefruit and omega-3-rich smoked salmon. Want a vegetarian version? Simply swap the salmon for chickpeas, cannellini beans, quinoa or farro.
