Smoked Salmon Salad

Salmon is an oily fish – rich in omega 3. This quick lunch is packed full of delicious zesty, clean flavours and takes minutes to prepare.  We paired the salmon with a boiled egg, watercress, spinach and added pine nuts for a delightful crunch. We also added some cucumber and yellow and red tomatoes which makes this dish look so colourful.
