A vibrant, restaurant-style smoked salmon salad layered over a silky creamy base, topped with pickled onions, fresh dill, and a drizzle of honey mustard dressing. Light, fresh, and perfectly balanced between richness and acidity.
| Ingredients | Serves 2 as a light meal / 4 as an entrée |
| 200–250g | Premium smoked salmon slices |
| ½ cup | Greek yoghurt or crème fraîche |
| 1 tbsp | Lemon juice |
| 1 cup | Rocket (arugula) leaves |
| ¼ | Small red onion, thinly sliced |
| 2 tbsp | Red wine vinegar |
| 1 tsp | Sugar |
| 1 tbsp | Capers or finely chopped olives (optional) |
| 1 tbsp | Crispy fried shallots (optional for texture) |
| 2–3 tbsp | Godi la Vita - Honey & Pepper Mustard Dressing |
| Fresh dill sprigs | |
| Olive oil | |
| Salt & cracked black pepper |
Method
1. Pickle the onion
Combine sliced red onion, red wine vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for at least 15–20 minutes until softened and bright pink.
2. Prepare the base
Mix Greek yoghurt (or crème fraîche) with lemon juice, zest, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly onto the centre of a large serving plate.
3. Layer the greens
Lightly toss rocket with a drizzle of olive oil and a small spoon of Godi la Vita Honey & Pepper Mustard Dressing. Place gently over the creamy base.
4. Add the salmon
Fold and layer smoked salmon slices generously over the greens.
5. Finish & garnish
Scatter pickled onions, dill, capers/olives, and crispy shallots. Drizzle more Godi la Vita Honey Mustard Dressing over the top for a glossy finish. Crack fresh pepper to serve.
