Salad with salmon and feta

Actually, I need to reconsider the name of this recipe. I’ll even make a humble confession. Unfortunately, this isn’t lettuce (well, obviously, it’s rocket), and it isn’t made with real feta either, just an ordinary Polish imitation.

So I admit it. I lied. But the truth is, I definitely prefer the Polish imitation to genuine Greek feta. That’s just how it is.

So today I decided to go for healthy meals — you could even say I put my money on them. Well, perhaps apart from breakfast, which was fairly standard. Lunch, on the other hand, was the aforementioned salmon and feta salad. I know someone who would even classify this as a vegetarian dish.

Never mind. What matters is that healthy food can be just as edible as unhealthy food. Even without meat, it can be edible. Though I also know people who would argue about whether feta and smoked salmon are really that healthy. What do you think? This time I’ll recommend it, although I don’t know anyone who would look at the photos and say it looks appetising 😉 But it is quite spring-like, after all…

Recipe facts:

Preparation time: 8 minutes

Serves: 1 person

Calories: feta may have some, but this is imitation feta, so ZERO 🙂

Ingredients for smoked salmon salad:

• half a bag of lamb’s lettuce (about 5 handfuls)
• 8 cherry tomatoes (preferably sweet ones)
• 100 grams of smoked salmon (cold-smoked)
• 1/4 of a block of feta-style cheese (I had the Polish imitation, semi-fat Favita, so about 70 grams)
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of lime juice
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• freshly ground black pepper
• a pinch of salt

Recipe for a healthy salad with salmon and feta-style cheese:

I tore the washed and dried lamb’s lettuce into smaller pieces and put it in a bowl. I added the halved cherry tomatoes and diced feta-style cheese (semi-fat Favita in my case, as I mentioned). I seasoned generously with freshly ground black pepper and added just a pinch of salt.

I cut the smoked salmon into thick strips and added it to the other salad ingredients.

In a glass, I mixed the olive oil with the lime and lemon juices to make a simple vinaigrette. I added it to the salad bowl and mixed gently (not very successfully, as you can see in the photos). The lamb’s lettuce salad with salmon and feta cheese is ready. Enjoy!
