Ingredients

For The Salad

  • 150 gram smoked Salmon
  • 50 gram Blue Cheese
  • 300 gram cantaloupe Melon rind removed
  • 1/2 Cucumber
  • 30 gram grated Carrots
  • 1 Celery stick
  • 5 sun-dried Tomatoes
  • 30 gram roasted Pine Kernels
  • 200 gram baby Spinach or Water Cress Salad go for small salad green leaves : )

For The Dressing

  • 1 Tablespoon Mustard - I used Dijon
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and Peppar to taste

Instructions

Chop, Mix and Dress Like This

  • Chop all your vegetables into bite size pieces.
  • Roast your pine kernels and be careful not to burn them. Do not add oil to the pan or oven tray as they are naturally oily, but do add a bit of salt, pepper or Za'atar if you have that at home.
  • Cut the sun-dried tomatoes up into smaller bits so they distribute themselves nicely later.
  • Chop up the blue cheese into nice even chunks.
  • Cut the salmon (I use kitchen scissors for this) into nice long strips.
  • Mix the vegetables with the sun-dried tomatoes and set aside.
  • Lay out the green salad or spinach leaves on a big serving platter, add the vegetable mix and then the salmon, blue cheese and top with the pine kernels.
  • Pour on dressing when you are just about to serve.
  • Enjoy!
