Smoked Salmon Avocado Salad
This is a super easy, super simple salad that will always deliver on flavor! All the elements just work beautifully together – and it requires virtually no cooking (aside from toasting the nuts which is essential for maximum flavor).
Chef Tips:
- Baby plum tomatoes are a good substitute for cherry tomatoes.
- Fresh mozzarella is great in a salad, but if you can, try it with burrata for an oozy salad.
- Don’t skip the toasted pine nuts or the basil garnish: the flavors they offer bring the whole salad together.
