Smoked Salmon & Spinach Salad
- Dressing
- 2.5 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil or macadamia nut oil
- 1.25 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
- 1/4 teaspoon raw caster sugar
- Salad
- 2 ounces baby spinach
- 1/2 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
- 6 medium radishes, very thinly sliced
- 2 small Lebanese cucumbers, very thinly sliced
- 1 handful continental parsley, coarsely chopped
- 2 green onions, white and green part thinly sliced
- 2.5 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 6.5 ounces sodium reduced smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- Freshly ground sea salt & black pepper
- Lemon wedges
- 2 small, buttered baguettes, to serve
- Add dressing ingredients to a jar and shake well until combined or whisk in a small bowl, alternately. Set aside.
- Place first 7 ingredients into a large bowl, then drizzle over dressing; toss until combined, glossy and the sunflower seeds are evenly distributed. Place evenly over 2 plates or bowls then add smoked salmon over the top with the baguettes on the side. Season with black pepper, sea salt and a squeeze of lemon (you shouldn't need too much salt).
- This is really nice with the smoked salmon and salad place between the sliced, buttered baguettes and eaten as a sandwich or as a salad on it's own.
- Note: To achieve really thin slices for the onion, radish & cucumber, I used a mandoline on the thinnest setting.
