Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Arugula Salad
Description
This salad combines four cups of fresh arugula and one cup of microgreens with roughly torn smoked salmon and sliced avocado and pear for contrasting textures—peppery greens, creamy avocado, sweet pear, and silky salmon. Thinly sliced red onion adds a subtle sharpness. The components are gently tossed in a champagne vinaigrette that ties the flavors together with a light, bright dressing.
The salad is prepared by adding all ingredients to a bowl and drizzling the dressing on top, followed by a gentle toss to coat without bruising delicate greens or salmon. It is meant to serve immediately to maintain the fresh texture and vibrant appearance.
It can accompany a variety of meals or serve as a nutritious, quick meal on its own. The recipe is straightforward and adaptable, lending itself well to summer meal preparations or gatherings.
