While it is getting colder down here, I know that my friends on the Northern hemisphere are starting to enjoy warmer weather. So, today I am going to share with you the recipe for a delicious salad that, while perfect for spring, is also a great alternative for a quick and light lunch pretty much all year round. I love smoked salmon and I could eat it everyday… I think it goes very well with avocado and red onion and the light citrus vinaigrette rounds up all the flavours beautifully. You can serve this salad as a light main course or as a classy appetiser (in this case, you may want to reduce the quantity of the ingredients, depending on what’s on the menu). Enjoy!
