Smoked Salmon Salad with Easy Dill Dressing
Description
The salad combines 8 ounces of mixed greens with chunks of 4 ounces of smoked salmon and sliced avocado and red onion, offering a range of textures from crisp to creamy. The dressing is made by blending lemon juice, olive oil, water, spicy brown mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and fresh dill until smooth, which adds a zesty herbal note to the salad ingredients. The greens provide freshness, while the smoked salmon delivers a pronounced savory and slightly smoky flavor.
This salad can be served fresh for lunch or a light dinner. The creamy avocado balances the smoky fish and sharp onion, all enhanced by the dill dressing’s bright tang. Storing the dressing separately helps preserve the salad's texture when keeping leftovers in the fridge for up to four days.
Ingredients
Dill Dressing
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon brown mustard spicy
- 1 tablepoon maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup dill fresh
Smoked Salmon Salad
- 8 ounces mixed greens
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 avocado sliced, ripe
- 1/2 red onion , thinly sliced
Instructions
- To prepare the dressing, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, water, mustard, maple syrup, garlic, and fresh dill in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
- To assemble the salad, fill a large bowl or plate with the mixed greens. Top them with small pieces of smoked salmon, slices of avocado, and the red onion. Drizzle the dill dressing over the top just before serving.
- Leftover salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days, but it keeps best if the leaves haven't touched the dressing, so store the dressing separately for best shelf life.
