Salmon,Avocado Salad

Smoked Salmon, Avocado and Rocket (Arugula) Salad

(I think it’s good for 3 people as starters; 1 person as a main with some leftovers)

Ingredients:-

• Rocket leaves (arugula), about 60g (2 oz)
• An avocado
• 1/2 of a full sized lebanese cucumber
• 100g (3 oz) smoked salmon (I used Tassal brand)
• 1 tbsps sesame seeds

Dressing (measure to taste):-

• 1 lime
• about 1/2 cup of olive oil (adjust to your preference)
• Salt to taste
• A drop of sesame oil *optional*

Let’s do it:

(1) In a small dry pan, toast 1 tbsp of sesame seeds over medium flame until lightly brown. Set aside. (2) Wash and dry the rocket leaves. Set aside. (3) Slice cucumber. Set aside. (4) Halve a lime and squeeze the juice into a small bowl. Then add olive oil, sesame oil (if using), salt to taste and  1/2 tbsp of the toasted sesame seeds.  Whisk until it emulsifies. (5) In a salad bowl, add rocket leaves, cucumber and hand torn smoked salmon. (6) Use an avocado slicer to slice the avocado. To avoid the avocado from turning brown, I  dip slices of the avocado in the dressing and add into the salad bowl.  Scatter the remaning toasted sesame seeds as a finishing touch. (7) Serve with the dressing separately.
