Healthy superfood and smoked salmon salad

March 10, 2016 by manjirichitnis 8 Comments

I am on a road to discovering and working with various ideas to create and eat lighter, healthier meals and on one afternoon a few days ago I was faced with a dilemma. The kind of dilemma where one has an apparently full vegetable tray in the refrigerator but consisting of a large variety of this and that. So the salad recipe below is my way of utilising all those beautiful ingredients, preventing food waste, making the most of what my store cupboard essentials, and coming up with a healthy meal.

I love smoked salmon so I always seem to have some in my refrigerator and also had some antipasti ingredients in what remained for a large mix-n-match box from my last visit to Whole Foods.But the best part was finding some good salad leaves which were fresh and the savoy cabbage that would die soon

I do hope you can create and enjoy something similar:

Ingredients
  

  • 4 small Smoked salmon slices
  • 1.5 tbsp Shelled hemp
  • 1 tbsp Marinated chopped artichoke hearts
  • 2 Roasted marinated mini red peppers stuffed with garlic
  • 1/2 small Red onion chopped fine
  • 2 -3 Red chicory leaves
  • 2 Savoy cabbage leaves
  • 1 tbsp Alfalfa sprouts
  • 4-5 Baby courgettes sliced lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp Mixed nuts – cashews walnuts, raisins
  • Black olives – to garnish
  • Chocolate balsamic vinegar to drizzle and season

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl add the shelled hemp, chopped onion, salad leaves- red chicory and savoy cabbage, Alfalfa sprouts, Baby courgettes and add a generous slosh of Chocolate balsamic vinegar
  • On a bed of salad leaves arrange the help and onion mixture and place the smoked salmon slices
  • Arrange the mini red peppers stuffed with cheese, artichoke hearts around the salmon.
  • Garnish with mixed nuts and enjoy

And since I am hosting #CreditCrunchMunch for March 2016 I am linking up this recipe made using leftover ingredients and some vegetables that would otherwise have wilted and died like cabbage, or the last bits from my antipasti box – a thrifty recipe idea I say! #CreditCrunchMunch is a fab link up started by Helen of Fuss free flavours and Camilla of Fab food for all. Don’t forget to link up your thrifty ideas with my guest hosting post here.

      Thank You, Camilla ๐Ÿ™‚ I love smoked salmon and I often end up buying too much of it, then I incorporate it into almost anything! Hotel Chocolat Cocoa Balsamic is what I have used – I keep stocking up on it as it is one of my fav ways to quickly amp up a salad.

    So much colour on the plate! I love eating the rainbow like this. You get a range of nutrients that way I think and your food gets to look pretty too!
