I am starting to see more and more seafood incorporated into salad and I would say that salmon is one of the best choices. Also, that dressing is something not to skip. Wonderful blend of flavors, makes for the perfect light meal. Stunning photos as well. Happy Friday!

Love using the cress, strawberries and arugula to highlight the salmon - what a lovely contrast of flavors. And it is so very pretty. Funny, I've been thinking of using watercress more this summer - even planting it.

is that your balcony? everything looks so fresh and country-ish! I think the orangette sauce would go great even with grilled fresh salmon, what do you think?

I just had to know, what the heck garden cress was! Looks yummy, love that dressing. Soon I'll be needing this, it will hit 100 degrees here before we know it. Congrats on Top 9 the other day, glad to see you on fire again, lol.
Hope you have a great weekend.

There is something absolutely decadent about smoke salmon in a salad, Angie! I have a salad in a local restaurant where they add a fried egg with the yolk runny, and when you pierce the yolk it drizzles all over the salmon like a delicious sauce!
I really like the sound of this dressing, very tasty indeed!

I would imagine garden cress would be, what we call Water Cress!...I could be wrong, but it seems similar.
Love the salad, and the dressing...this is the kind of salad so perfect for a warm and sunny day, anywhere but especially here in S. Florida!
