Sexy Salmon Salad

This refreshing citrus salad can be used as a main course, side course or even alongside a fritatta for brunch.  It’s light and healthy, filled with protein and omega 3’s. It’s easy to make, yet makes an elegant presentation,  we had it on a normal Thursday evening, but it does add a bit of “sexy” to any dinner. 

Buon Appetito!

Ingredients:

1 package or 4 slices of Norwegian Salmon torn into bite size pieces

2 oranges (one grated and juiced, one peeled and separated into segments)

1 cup mixed baby greens torn into bite size pieces

1 cup shredded cabbage

1/4 walnuts (the crunchier the better!)

1/4 of your favorite Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used our  2011 Magaria because I love its spicy taste with the tangy citrus flavor)

1 splash of red wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon of dijon mustard

salt & pepper

Procedure:

1. In a small mixing bowl pour olive oil, vinegar, mustard, juice and grated peel from orange, salt & pepper and whisk until blended. Then add salmon, cover and refrigerate. 

2. Then in a large salad bowl place all greens, walnuts and orange segments decoratively.  

3. When you are ready to serve take out dressing and give another stir, then pour dressing over salad covering evenly, then place salmon on top. 

Buon Appetito!
