Notes

Complete all prep before your trip. At your lunch stop, simply combine the ingredients in a large bowl, toss with vinaigrette, and serve in wraps or pitas. This reduces on-river assembly to about 10 minutes.

  • Precook the eggs and wheatberries
  • Buy pre-washed, stemmed kale and leave in original packaging
  • Pre-make the vinaigrette and store in a screw-top container
  • Dice the onions and place in a zip-lock bag or container
  • Leave cherry tomatoes in original packaging
  • Leave feta in its original packaging
  • Store all ingredients in your camp cooler until it’s time to assemble the salad

In camp, simply chop the salmon, slice the tomatoes lengthwise, and combine everything in a large bowl.
