Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Rocket (Arugula) Salad
(I think it’s good for 3 people as starters; 1 person as a main with some leftovers)
Ingredients:-
- Rocket leaves (arugula), about 60g (2 oz)
- An avocado
- 1/2 of a full sized lebanese cucumber
- 100g (3 oz) smoked salmon (I used Tassal brand)
- 1 tbsps sesame seeds
Dressing (measure to taste):-
- 1 lime
- about 1/2 cup of olive oil (adjust to your preference)
- Salt to taste
- A drop of sesame oil *optional*
Let’s do it:
(1) In a small dry pan, toast 1 tbsp of sesame seeds over medium flame until lightly brown. Set aside. (2) Wash and dry the rocket leaves. Set aside. (3) Slice cucumber. Set aside. (4) Halve a lime and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Then add olive oil, sesame oil (if using), salt to taste and 1/2 tbsp of the toasted sesame seeds. Whisk until it emulsifies. (5) In a salad bowl, add rocket leaves, cucumber and hand torn smoked salmon. (6) Use an avocado slicer to slice the avocado. To avoid the avocado from turning brown, I dip slices of the avocado in the dressing and add into the salad bowl. Scatter the remaning toasted sesame seeds as a finishing touch. (7) Serve with the dressing separately.
