Elevate your table with this exquisite salmon salad recipe

A party table needs something special — something that surprises guests while being light, tasty, and elegant. This is exactly the kind of salmon salad that has been successfully replacing traditional snacks like roulades or stuffed eggs for me over the past several years. This combination of delicate smoked salmon with eggs, potatoes, and herbs impresses not only with its taste but also with its presentation. If you're looking for a dish that will serve as a table centerpiece and disappear faster than you can serve another portion, this recipe is for you.

Salmon salad is a great option not only for holidays but also for any special occasion when we want to impress guests with something light yet sophisticated. Thanks to the smoked salmon, it gains character, and the classic ingredients are revitalized. It can be served both in an elegant salad bowl and as mini servings on toast or in a tortilla.

Ingredients:

• 3 boiled potatoes
• 2 boiled carrots
• 2 pickles
• 2 hard-boiled eggs
• about 3.5 ounces of smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon of finely chopped dill
• lemon juice to taste
• salt and pepper to taste
• optional: capers or chives for decoration

Preparation:

1. Dice the potatoes, carrots, eggs, and pickles. Add the salmon torn into pieces and chopped dill.
2. Mix the ingredients with mayonnaise and yogurt, then season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3. Transfer to a bowl, then garnish with pieces of salmon and sprigs of dill or fresh chives on top. Chill before serving.

Salmon is one of the healthiest ingredients we can add to our daily diet, even in the form of a salad. This fatty fish from cold waters is not only delicate and aromatic but also exceptionally nutritious. First and foremost, it provides large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory effects, support heart and brain function, and also have a beneficial impact on the appearance of skin and hair. It is also a source of vitamin D, which is especially valuable in the autumn and winter months and for people who spend little time in the sun.

Salmon also contains high-quality protein, vitamin B12, selenium, and iodine – elements essential for the proper functioning of the thyroid and nervous systems. Importantly, smoked salmon pairs well with vegetables, eggs, and light yogurt-mayo sauces, making the salad not only filling but also supporting the body in healthy functioning. By choosing the version with added salmon, we gain a wholesome dish that is light and works great even at a formal table.
