Ingredients:

1 avocado
200g
1/2 lime
36g
3 cups mixed greens (or salad mix)
210g
2 cucumbers
800g
1 lb salmon
450g
1 cup scallions
50g
1/4 cup soy sauce
60g
1/3 cup mirin
72g
2 tsp brown sugar
6g
1 tsp sesame oil
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/3 cup mirin, 2 tsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp sesame oil.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the brown sugar is fully dissolved. Set the dressing aside.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Cucumbers: Peel the cucumbers if desired and slice them into thin rounds or half-moons.
- Scallions: Thinly slice the scallions.
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces.
- Lime: Cut the lime into wedges. Use one wedge to squeeze lime juice over the diced avocado to prevent browning.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, combine 3 cups of mixed greens, sliced cucumbers, and sliced scallions.
- Add the diced avocado to the salad mixture.
- Tear or cut the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and add them to the salad.
4. Dress the Salad:
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well-coated with the dressing.
5. Serve:
- Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional lime wedges if desired.

Tips:

- Choose high-quality smoked salmon.: Opt for fresh, high-quality smoked salmon from a reputable source to ensure the best flavor and texture for your salad.

- Prepare the dressing in advance.: Make the dressing ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

- Keep the avocado from browning.: To prevent the avocado from browning, toss it in lime juice immediately after cutting. This not only adds flavor but also preserves its vibrant color.

- Add variety to your greens.: Feel free to mix different types of greens, such as spinach, arugula, and romaine, to add more texture and flavor diversity to your salad.

- Chill the salad before serving.: For a refreshing experience, consider chilling the salad in the refrigerator for a few minutes before serving, especially on a hot day.

With its harmonious blend of flavors and textures, this Smoked Salmon, Cucumber, and Asian Greens Salad is a wonderfully satisfying meal. Whether you're preparing it for a quick lunch or a light dinner, it's sure to impress with its vibrant colors and fresh taste.
