Smoked Salmon Salad

Christmas is coming closer and closer. Would you go for any Christmas party or throw a party yourself? This Smoked Salmon Salad could be a good choice for party snack, or just have it as an ordinary day’s side dish. This salad went very well with the pan-fried lamb steak I cooked the other day. The choice of baby greens for this salad is quite flexible that you can use any veggies you like. The colours of this snack really caught my family’s eyes. Best of all, I could prepare this salad on the go, or make it in advance, pop it in the fridge, and grab it out to enjoy in the last minute. Keep me free enough to enjoy chatting with my family and friends.
