Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Salad

Begin by laying out the mixed greens in a large serving plate. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes, black olives, mozzarella cheese pieces, and mandarin segments evenly over the greens.

Next, take the thinly sliced red fish and spread the cream cheese over it. Roll the fish up tightly to create pinwheels, and then place these on top of the salad as well.

Step 2

Make the Dressing

In a medium bowl, combine the avocado oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and add the Italian herbs for flavor.

Whisk everything together until well blended. Drizzle this dressing generously over the arranged salad just before serving.

Step 3

Serve

Gently toss the salad to ensure that the dressing coats all the ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh and vibrant salad!

Faq

  • What vegetables can I add to my salad?

    You can customize your salad with any of your favorite veggies such as cucumbers, bell peppers, or even avocados for extra creaminess!

  • How can I make the salad dressing less tangy?

    If you find it too tangy, just add a touch more honey or a bit of olive oil to balance the flavors!

  • Can I prepare the salad ahead of time?

    You can prep the ingredients in advance, but it's best to toss the salad with dressing just before serving to keep it fresh!

  • What type of fish is best for this salad?

    Lightly smoked salmon or trout would work wonderfully! They add great flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.

  • How long can I store leftovers?

    Leftover salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the greens may wilt, so it's best enjoyed fresh!

  • Can I keep the dressing separate?

    Absolutely! Keeping the dressing separate until serving will help maintain the freshness of the greens and flavors.
