Equipment

  • Large bowl
  • Cutting board
  • Large knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Large glass measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g packaged smoked salmon
  • 142 g field greens (one large plastic package-full or roughly 6 cups)
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup berries (either blueberries, raspberries or strawberries)
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds (roasted and salted are great!)
  • 1/8 cup capers

Salad Dressing

  • 1/8 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 cup gluten-free soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
  • 1/8 cup maple syrup
  • 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Start by chopping up your red onion into small chunks and set aside in a small bowl.
  • In a large bowl, measure out and add your fresh greens, berries, diced up red onions, pumpkin seeds and capers.
  • In a glass measuring cup, mix together all of your salad dressing ingredients.
  • Using your hands, pull apart the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces and top your salad with it.
  • Stir the dressing thoroughly before adding it to your salad.
  • If you are going to have leftovers, consider mixing all of the ingredients in your individual bowls instead of altogether. That way, the salad won't get soggy in the fridge. If you do this, you can store all of the salad ingredients in separate airtight containers.
