ISO: ISO ideas for a dressing (or vinaigrette) for salad greens with chunks of smoked salmon.

[michael-in-phoenix]

I'm planning on hot smoking a salmon filet (or two) later this week. I love cold smoked salmon chunked into a salad of fresh greens. I need ideas for an interesting dressing to go with.

I usually use a citrus vinaigrette, and would prefer to stay with a recipe that doesn't include mayo or cream, but crumbled cheese would be fine.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

IMO You can't beat a lemon vinaigrette with capers, red onions, and cukes with salmon

I don't have a recipe but I think I'd try a dill and yoghurt dressing (I love yoghurt, by the way!)

Also, a balsamico vinaigrette would be wonderful with the salmon, I think.

Thank you, ladies. I like both of those suggestions!

We have a restuarant nearby where the special is smoked salmon pasta using feta, capers and oregano.

I love the combination and clearly, it's what made them famous.

Maybe there's an idea there for a salad.

Thanks Marg. That does sound like a great start!

I usually get stuck on lemony vinaigrettes with salmon - could you share yours?
