Smoked Salmon Salad with Lemon Dill Dressing

With distinctively nutty mâche, delightfully sharp and bitter radicchio, sweet mandarin, rich smoked sockeye salmon and creamy, herby lemon dressing, this keto-friendly, gluten-free salad is chock-full of fresh flavours, crunchy and juicy textures, and essential nutrients. I have also added some leftover trout caviar to the salad, but it's completely optional. Instead of mâche, you can also use arugula, baby beet greens, spinach or simply a mesclun mix.

Lemon Dill Dressing	Salad
3 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice 4 tbsp. Homemade mayonnaise 2 tbsp Finely chopped fresh dill 1 tsp Dijon wholegrain mustard 1 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to taste	100 g Mâche 50 g Radicchio, cut into bite-sized pieces 1-2 Mandarin Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional) 80-100 g Smoked sockeye 1 tsp Trout caviar (optional) Lemon wedges, to serve

To prepare the dressing, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, dill, wholegrain mustard and olive oil in a glass jar. Whisk well to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide mâche and radicchio between 2 salad plates. Top with mandarin, halved cherry tomatoes if using, torn smoked salmon and caviar. Garnish with extra dill. Drizzle the dressing over. Serve with lemon wedges.

Eha 11/1/23 06:33: Love the look of this salad and the dressing - shall prepare soonest. And a relatively small amount of the fish does go a long way ! I may have mentioned before we can buy larger packets of smoked salmon offcuts by the same firms at a far, far lower price . . . available at all supermarkets . . . ideal for salads like these, pasta dishes, fish cakes et al. Oh - love the amount of dill also . . . as I do not get snow where I live there are always large pots of dill growing behind the kitchen door . . .

Un beso.
