Smoked Salmon Salad
Ingredients (2 servings):
2 cups (500 mL) spring mix greens
2 Roma Tomatoes
1 English Cucumber
1 Avocado
4 oz. (112 g) Smoked Salmon
¼ cup (59 mL) Feta Cheese to taste
1 Tbsp.(15 mL) Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
¼ cup (59 mL) Rice Vinegar
¼ Red Onion
1 tsp (5 mL) Dried oregano
½ tsp (2.5 mL) salt
½ tsp (2.5 mL) pepper
Vinaigrette dressing
1 clove minced garlic
¼ cup (59 mL) apple cider vinegar
¼ (59 mL) cup EVOO
1 tsp (5 mL) honey
½ tsp (2.5 mL) salt
½ tsp (2.5 mL) pepper
1 tsp (5 mL) Dijon mustard
How to make:
1. Peel and cut cucumbers into thin rounds.
2. Cut onions into thin long slices. (If you like onions, keep the slices larger but if you’re not as keen, dice them into small pieces.)
3. Cut roma tomatoes into small diced pieces.
4. Add to a large bowl with oregano, rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper mix and set aside.
5. In a dressing shaker or small bowl, combine minced garlic, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper. Shake or stir until combined. (Add yogurt if desired)
6. In another bowl, add your greens and slice or cube your avocado on top. After your tomatoes and cucumbers have marinated in the rice vinegar for a few minutes, add them to the top of your salad alongside a few slices of smoked salmon. Top with feta cheese and enjoy!
Notes: This salad is meant to be eaten throughout the week. To preserve freshness, keep the tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions in one bowl and the lettuce and feta in another bowl. This will allow your tomatoes and cucumbers to marinate throughout the week and will keep your lettuce from wilting. Be sure to wait to add your dressing until you are ready to eat your salad. This will also maintain freshness.
Optional: swap salmon with chicken if desired. (Add ½ cup (125 mL) of plain Greek yogurt or plain cashew yogurt for a creamier taste)
