Salmon salad with green tahini dressing
You have to love a recipe when you look down the list of ingredients and everything is good for you. Full of green vegetables, good fats and omega-3s, the fact that this salad is also filling and delicious is a bonus.
Ingredients
1 tsp olive oil
2 salmon fillets (about 225g each)
150g baby spinach, loosely packed
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
1 small Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced
Green tahini dressing
½ cup baby spinach, loosely packed
about 4 tbsp fresh dill sprigs, or to taste
¼ cup tahini
½ cup Greek-style yoghurt
½ cup water
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp honey
1 garlic clove, chopped
½ tsp salt
Method
Step 1
For the green tahini dressing, combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend to a smooth consistency.
Step 2
Heat a medium frypan over high heat and add the oil. Season the salmon fillets well with salt and pepper and fry for about 2 1/2 minutes on each side until crisp on the outside and lightly cooked in the centre.
Step 3
Drain on absorbent paper then break the fillets into chunks. Combine the chunks with the remaining salad ingredients and serve with the green tahini dressing.
