Tips

💡 For a heartier salad, consider adding avocado or cooked quinoa for extra texture and nutrition.
💡 Feel free to substitute the smoked salmon with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
💡 This salad pairs wonderfully with a glass of crisp white wine or sparkling water with a slice of lemon.
