Name: Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Salad
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 8 oz (225g) thinly sliced smoked salmon; 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced; 1 small red onion, thinly sliced; 3 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped; 2 tablespoons capers, drained; 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon honey; ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; ¼ teaspoon sea salt; 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the cucumbers

Slice the English cucumbers thinly (about ⅛ inch thick). If desired, use a mandoline for uniform slices. If using regular cucumbers, peel them first and remove the seeds.
Prepare the salmon

Carefully separate the smoked salmon slices and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Keep refrigerated until ready to assemble the salad.
Make the dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. If using, add the Greek yogurt for a creamier dressing and whisk until smooth.
Assemble the salad

In a large bowl, combine the cucumber slices, red onion slices, and capers. Pour half of the dressing over the vegetables and toss gently to coat.
Add the salmon

Carefully fold in the smoked salmon pieces, being careful not to break them up too much. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad.
Finish and serve

Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the salad. For best flavor, allow the salad to rest in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
