Units
For the Salad
- Half a large bunch Romaine lettuce
- 3-4 oz (85-113 g) smoked salmon
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.3 cups (71 ml) fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cups (59 ml) pistachios
- Lemon wedges
For the Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
- 2 tablespoons agave nectar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, Champagne vinegar, agave nectar, salt, pepper, dried mustard and poppy seeds, and whisk until smooth.
- Transfer the lettuce to a platter.
- Scatter the salmon, red onion, blueberries, and pistachios over the top of the lettuce.
- Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best flavor, use high-quality smoked salmon with a good texture.
- If fresh blueberries aren’t in season, frozen blueberries can be used (thawed and gently patted dry).
- To make ahead, prepare the dressing and chop the vegetables separately. Combine just before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting.
