Ingredients
- 1 tbsp scallions, finely chopped
- 2 small radishes, chopped
- 1 tbsp edamame beans, steamed
- 1 tbsp quinoa, cooked
- 3.5 oz (75g) smoked salmon
- Handful arugula
For the dressing:
- 2 tbsp low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 tsp dill
- Splash of lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
The only prep-time you’ll need is making sure that you have your quinoa and edamame beans ready to add to your salad jar. Simply steam them or boil them until done – and you’re ready to fill up this salad jar.
Raw veggies aren’t introduced back to your post-op diet, typically when you’re a bit further out and progressed to the solid stage already. Some may be able to tolerate lettuce around 8 weeks post-op, while others still experience digestive issues with some raw vegetables months later.
Everyone is different, and that’s okay!
Oh..and make sure to add the dressing first to the jar to prevent the other ingredients from getting soggy.

Step 2
