Smoked Salmon & White Bean Salad

I have been on a quest for some lunches that are low calories, satisfying and delicious – not an easy task!  I read about the great value of salmon in our diet (high in omega 3 fatty acids, high in vitamin B12 and D,  less risk of contaminants, low calorie, and the list goes on).  Well, all this led me to purchase a package of salmon.  Now, what to do that is different?  Here is one of two ideas I put together.   The first:

Balsamic Reduction:

Simmer 1 cup of balsamic vinegar with 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar, stirring constantly.  Continue simmer for about 5 minutes or until it becomes a thick syrup.  Allow to cool and store in the refrigerator.

Use on salads, chicken, fish and more!  I even like it on strawberries.

I double this recipe and put it in one of those plastic squeeze bears that honey comes in.  It’s in my refrigerator all the time.
