Ingredients
- ½ onion
- 1 lemon (for zest and juice)
- 1 lemon (to garnish)
- mixed green (or red leaf lettuce would work great too)
- 6 oz smoked salmon
- freshly ground black pepper
For the Lemon Vinaigrette
- 1 ½ Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 ½ Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp garlic salt with parsley
- ¼ tsp lemon pepper (or freshly ground black pepper; I use one from Trader Joe’s)
Instructions
- Slice the onion with a slicer.
- Soak the sliced onion in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain and squeeze water out. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
- Zest the lemon and keep this lemon for juice.
- Slice the other lemon with a slicer. If you press the lemon against the slicer, you can get nice thin slices.
- Spread mixed green salad on a plate and put sliced onion on top.
- Put smoked salmon and sprinkle additional pepper.
- Place some sliced lemons and keep it in the refrigerator until ready to serve. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the Lemon Vinaigrette and whisk all together. Pour the Lemon Vinaigrette right before serving.
