Essential Ingredients- 1/2 head Lettuce, washed and torn
- 1/2 head Broccoli, florets separated
- 150g Salmon fillet
- 1/2 Apple, thinly sliced
- 1 handful Nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
- 1/4 cup Black olives, pitted
Simple Homemade Dressing- 3 Tbsp Plain yogurt
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Honey
- 3 Tbsp Plain yogurt
- 2 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Honey
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Take the broccoli from the freezer and let it thaw naturally. Once thawed, lightly sauté the broccoli florets in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper, until lightly browned. Sautéing enhances the broccoli’s flavor and texture, making it even more enjoyable in the salad.
Step 2
Wash the lettuce thoroughly under running water and gently pat it dry. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces by hand; this helps create a fuller, more appealing salad. Place the prepared lettuce in a large glass bowl.
Step 3
Cut the thawed salmon fillet into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm). Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before cutting. If you prefer cooked salmon, you can lightly pan-sear it before adding it to the salad.
Step 4
Arrange the cut salmon pieces attractively over the lettuce in the glass bowl. The vibrant color of the salmon will add a beautiful visual appeal to your salad.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, mayonnaise, and honey until smooth to create the dressing. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad. Finally, garnish with the thinly sliced apple, sautéed broccoli, nuts for crunch, and black olives. Your delicious and healthy salmon salad is now ready to serve! Feel free to add cherry tomatoes or corn kernels for extra flavor and color.
