After the amount of sugar and desserts I’ve been posting lately, I was in ‘salad withdrawal’.
Crispy pan fried Salmon fillets are a beautiful addition to this salad — especially with creamy avocado slices, crunchy croutons and the tang of parmesan cheese slices. My second confession is a major love for a perfect runny poached egg on top. At first I was hesitant to try salmon with egg, but then again, Niçoise Salad contains egg and Tuna. Plus, the dressing contains anchovies. So, not to be a hypocrite, I tried this and loved it so much I decided to share it.
This Salmon and Avocado Caesar Salad recipe is much easier to make than what it looks like on paper; it’s just a matter of pan frying the salmon fillets.
Oven grilling/broiling the croutons (or buying them all ready made)… Pan frying the diced bacon…
And poaching (or boiling) a couple of eggs.
While all that’s happening, arrange your salad on your plate; mix some dressing through the green crispy lettuce; and top it with the salmon and egg.
Drizzle on the dressing! It isn’t as low in fat or ‘light’ as the Chicken Caesar recipe…but it’s still lighter than traditional dressing. Crack open a perfectly poached egg… Serve with a squeeze of lemon, and prepare to go on a Greek summer holiday.
