This simple salad is a great lunch, and the soft, salty salmon pairs perfectly with crisp greens and creamy dressing. You can use fat free yogurt and low-fat mayo if you want to keep the fat content low, or full fat, for a richer dressing. If you want to snip some fresh dill over the salmon, that would be lovely, too. Serves 4. Prep time: 10 minutes.
INGREDIENTS
1 small clove garlic
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups arugula, washed and dried
1 large carrot, shredded
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
8 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced, cut in bite sized pieces
PREPARATION
- In a blender or food processor, mince the garlic, then add the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar and salt, and puree.
- Scrape down and repeat if necessary, then drizzle in the olive oil with the machine running.
- Reserve.
- Arrange the arugula on each of four salad plates, then top it with carrot shreds and tomatoes.
- Pile the salmon in the center. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.
