    How to make this easy smoked salmon salad recipe

    You don't have to cook any of the ingredients of this salad (double points to it!), only slice a few veggies.

    Sliced cucumber mixed with lemon and salt

    Peel the cucumber, and slice it lengthwise with a peeler. Put it in a plate and add a pinch of salt and lemon juice. Combine with a a couple of spoons and let it rest while you prepare the tomatoes, onion and avocado.

    Smoked salmon salad recipe

    Add the rocket and alfalfa to a large plate. Add the rest of ingredients on top on this order: cucumber, avocado, smoked salmon, tomatoes, capers and onion. Pour the dressing on top and enjoy!

    Hint: if you're preparing ahead, don't add the dressing until before you eat it, otherwise the rocket and alfalfa will get soggy.

    Substitutions

    • Spinach, watercress or lettuce - instead of rocket work well.
    • Grilled salmon - instead of smoked salmon.
    • Big tomatoes sliced - instead of cherry tomatoes.
    • Dressing - it's basic to use EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), but you can use lemon juice or balsamic vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. The dijon mustard gives a great touch, but you can also change it for whole grain mustard or skip it!

    Why you will love this fresh smoked salmon salad

    • Super easy to prepare - when I say it's ready in 10 minutes, I mean it! I'm confident to say that you will probably have a few minutes left.
    • Fresh & delicious - nothing else to say!
    • Highly nutritious - it's full of good-for-you ingredients. High in healthy fats, omega 3 fatty acids and lots of vitamins.

    Leftover salad? Store it in the fridge!

    Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    If you're preparing ahead, don't add the dressing until before you eat it, otherwise the rocket and alfalfa will get soggy!!

    Top tip!!

    A good dressing is key for success! Combine the dressing ingredients on a small glass, and mix well with a spoon. The dressing should look uniform before pouring it over the salad.

      I made this with without the capers (didn’t have any) and dressed the salad with a sweet balsamic dressing and it was divine! Perfect summer salad!
