Salmon Summer Salad Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 lb salmon fillet, poached or grilled
1/2 lb small red-skinned potatoes, scrubbed
3/4 lb fresh thin asparagus
6 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp minced lemon zest
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tsp capers, rinsed, well drained
3 tbsp finely-chopped fresh dill
2 tbsp finely-chopped parsley
1/4 tsp salt, (optional)
1/8 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
8 red-leaf lettuce leaves, rinsed, crisped
12 cherry tomatoes

Recipe Instructions:

Into a large bowl, break up the salmon in 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.

Quarter potatoes and cook in boiling water to cover until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain and add to salmon.

Meanwhile, trim the rough ends off asparagus and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Cook in boiling water to cover until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and add to salmon mixture.

In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, yogurt, garlic, capers, dill, parsley, salt (if using), and pepper. Pour over salmon mixture and toss to evenly coat salmon and vegetables. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To serve, arrange 2 lettuce leaves on each of 4 plates. Place equal portions of salmon salad on the lettuce and garnish with cherry tomatoes which have been cut in halves. Serve at once.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”

~ Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author.
