Salads Starring [non-red-meat] Protein Sources

Presenting two non-red-meat protein sources to go with everyday salads.

Watch out: the chicken-style seitan looks a lot like Satan. It looks like hell but it tastes like chicken! Especially if you do not really, ever, eat chicken (like me) then you could never know the difference.
Seitan is low fat - so you can eat more of everything else! And it's high protein = high satiety. Stay satisfied longer with less calories.

Watch out for the canned salmon in the further-below picture. Canned salmon also looks yucky (BONES) but the bones are soft and you do not notice them when you eat it. Canned salmon has a lot more flavor and a lot less mercury than canned tuna. Truly yummier.
