Fresh and Easy Salmon Tacos with Guacamole & Broccoli Slaw

Healthy Recipes

Overview

There are many ways to make soft tacos but this recipe is one of our favorites for a delicious protein and veggie packed fresh taco.



Salmon and guacamole? What’s not to like about that? Combined with some colorful and crunchy broccoli slaw, this makes a fresh and easy lunch option to bring in to work or prepare for a picnic. 

Here we have combined all kinds of good fats to keep your energy up throughout the day. Salmon and avocado both help turn this into a filling meal - though we recommend eating this with a side of beans or fresh fruit for some extra carbohydrate and fiber. 

What’s cool about this recipes is the broccoli slaw add-on. Sure, you can buy it ready-made but it is really easy to make at home and will definitely save you some money. Here we present you with a painless way to prepare it at home. You can make a big batch and store it in your fridge so that you have some fresh veggies throughout the whole week. You need just a food processor! We like to use the grater blade but you can definitely just chop it into small chunks with a regular knife.

These delicious tacos are an awesome picnic food that are quick and easy to prepare. It is also a wonderful and filling breakfast if you have a long and strenuous day ahead. Just give it a try and your body will thank you with all the energy it bursts with!
