Smoked Salmon Salad with Avocado

This is a super simple, quick and easy, breezy peasy recipe for smoked salmon salad with avocado. Ready to dig in?

Take some fresh lettuce. I was so keen on our garden lettuce until a slug slithered up the bowl to escape the vinegar. But as I was saying, take some fresh lettuce. Add a handful of very red, very sweet cherry tomatoes – these ones are called coeurs de pigeon – pigeon heart – a half-avocado, a handful of fresh mozzarella balls, about 100 grams of chopped smoked salmon … and that’s it!

Like this.

And closer up. Yuuuuuum.

It’s sort of amazing how a fresh salad can jump right out of the photo and tempt you, isn’t it? Now let’s make my favourite dressing, which I’m sure I’ve blogged about before. A heaping scoop of Dijon mustard

a little less Balsamic vinegar

then four good-sized spoons of oil. Mix well.

I like using two of olive, and two of canola because it gives a milder flavour. You don’t need salt since the salmon is salty. (Note – this dressing serves two for a large dinner salad).

And this is the end result.

Sigh.

Oh, you’re inviting me over for lunch?

Don’t mind if I do.
