Salad with canned salmon

Salad with canned salmon serves 4

This is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. Paired here with crunchy vegetables and tossed in a mouth watering avocado ranch dressing, it is completely irresistible. If you don’t want to make the dressing, it would be good with a light dressing of olive oil and lemon juice.

Ingredients

For the salad

1 tin salmon (415 grams)

3 cups cos/romaine lettuce (½ head - approximately 120 grams)

2 cups carrots, grated (2 medium, approximately 200 grams)

2 cups celery, diced (4 stalks, approximately 300 grams)

¼ cup soft fresh herbs (we used dill, parsley and chives)

1 medium avocado (approximately 200 grams)

Salt and pepper

For the avocado ranch dressing

2 medium avocados (ripe)

½ cup yogurt

¼ cup lemon juice (juice from 1 lemon)

1 tbsps Dijon mustard

2 cloves garlic minced

2 tbsps fresh parsley leaves chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives/green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 teaspoon Cajun spice mix**

Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Instructions

· Drain your tinned salmon and break up the skin and bones using a fork. Put into mixing bowl.

· Add the other salad ingredients to mixing bowl.

· Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

· Add all ranch dressing ingredients to a blender, season with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Blitz to combine, taste and adjust seasonings. Your dressing should be the consistency of mayonnaise; you can add some water to loosen if necessary.

· Pour your dressing over the salad and mix well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings according to your personal preferences.

· Put into serving bowl, slice and fan the avocado on top with a pinch of Cajun seasoning and the chives, then serve immediately. Enjoy!

2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 ½ teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1¼ teaspoon dried oregano

1¼ teaspoon dried thyme

Seafood green onion pancake

Seafood green onion pancake maangchi’s recipe Some tips when making these pancakes: • For a vegetarian version, skip the seafood and egg and use vegetable stock. • The batter should be runny, because thick batter will clump when you cook it and your pancake won’t turn out well. • While cooking, press down and poke the pancake to make some gaps in between the green onions. You should see some steam coming up through the gaps, that means the green onions are being cooked nicely. • This pancake is too heavy to toss up and flip, so don’t try it! You’ll need a big spatula to turn it over. • Be sure to make the dipping sauce, that’s the best way to enjoy it!
