I love smoked salmon so I enjoy any excuse to eat it. It is full of protein and tastes delicious! This salad is what I call my ‘Monday night’ dinner. You know the kind of meal, the one that has to be super quick after a long day in the office and something easy to rustle up. It is all about the Monday night hassle free dinner in my apartment! It is also healthy which is a great way to recover from any over indulging over the weekend!
I use smoked salmon in this salad but you can replace with prawns or any other kind of fish. I add fresh spinach and rocket leaves and top with a caper dressing to give it that tangy taste. So next week beat those Monday blues by popping this recipe onto your weekly meal plan!
