This salad recipe is really simple and quick to prepare, combining a mix of salad leaves, smoked salmon and a delicate orange-cress dressing. Works fantastic as either a starter or a light main.

- Place the freshly squeezed orange juice and brown sugar in a saucepan. Over the medium heat, simmer the mixture until it reduces to 150 ml. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm.
- Drizzle in the walnut oil and whisk until well combined. Season the dressing with sea salt, black pepper, and hot mustard sauce. Garnish with garden cress.
- Arrange torn lettuce leaves, arugula, sliced cherry radishes, garden cress, strawberry wedges, smoked salmon strips on a large serving bowl. Serve immediately with prepared salad dressing.

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.

ReplyDeleteI simply love salmon..
ReplyDeleteis 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?
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great weekend.
