Wild Salmon Salad

Mindful Moment Treat your kitchen as a sanctuary. Before preparing a meal, light a candle and take several deep breaths to clear your mind and center your body. Because this salad is so easy to prepare, pause to engage with each stage of the process--from opening the can of salmon to chopping the herbs--as if it were an extended meditation. To stay present, slow or exaggerate your movements.
