I really like good smoked salmon. It’s one of those foods that I rarely get tired of, be it on toast with a squeeze of lemon, with a poached egg, with scrambled eggs, in a soufflé, in a sandwich, on a flatbread or pizza. I’m beginning to sound like Sam I Am and his green eggs and ham but there are really very few things that I would not eat smoked salmon with. Adding salmon to salads adds a certain elegance and richness to the dish.

Note: If you don’t have smoked salmon, you can substitute cooked salmon filet.

Preparation

1
Place a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the pistachios and dry roast them for 2-3 minutes. Place the pistachios in a large salad bowl and pour in the olive oil and vinegar. Whisk together well. Add a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Place serving utensils over the vinaigrette.
2
Place the remaining ingredients on top of the utensils. When you are ready to serve the salad, toss it gently so that everything is well combined.
