I’ve been waiting for the sun for quite some time now. It finally came out today. I am grateful for the sun because It gives inspiration & happiness in ways which nothing materialistic can give us.

I can’t describe how satisfying this salad is. There are only a few ingredients & they all pair perfectly together. The pear is crisp & wonderful while the salmon is delicate and light. I added some finely sliced red onions to give a bit of sharpness to the end of each bite.

What You Will Need

70 g smoked salmon

1/4 cup red onions, thinly sliced 

1/2 cup spinach

1/4 cup crisp pears, thinly sliced (I used apple pears)

Orange- Lemon Dressing

Juice of 1 orange

Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar

On a plate, lay evenly the spinach, red onions, pears & smoked salmon. Next, in a bowl,combine all the dressing ingredients together and whisk until smooth. Drizzle on the dressing just before serving.

Rain is gloom & sunshine is happiness. Thanks for coming out today.
