May is National Salad Month, and I am celebrating with my salad besties at Little Leaf Farms over on Instagram this week! They asked me to share a recipe with *Big Salad Energy* – where the salad is giving off main character vibes – and I had an idea for a shareable, showstopping salad that puts those big curly crunchy leaves and seasonal spring produce up on a pedestal! This spring veggie and salmon salad is packed with flavor and color and is ripe for entertaining guests for some al fresco dining! Get the tasty spring recipe below:
Spring Veggie and Salmon Salad.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb salmon
- ½ lb fingerling potatoes, quartered
- 1 large leek, whites thinly sliced
- ¼ cup of mushrooms
- 3 Tbsp of Dijon Mustard, divided
- 1 Tbsp of Mayo
- ½ Cup of Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling
- ¼ cup of Red Wine Vinegar
- ½ Tsp of Capers
- ¼ Tsp of Sugar
- Salt and Pepper
- 2-3 Containers of Little Leaf Farms Baby Spring Mix
- Carrots and Asparagus, cut into ribbons
- Radishes and Cucumbers, thinly sliced
- Snap Peas or English Peas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Spread 1 tbsp of mustard and a drizzle of olive oil over salmon, add it to a parchment lined baking sheet. Toss quartered fingerling potatoes and thinly sliced leeks with 1 tbsp of mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper and add to baking sheet. Cook for 20 minutes, and then add the mushrooms to the pan for an additional 5-8 minutes, until the salmon reaches your desired doneness. Remove from oven and let cool.
- To make the dressing, whisk together 1 tbsp of Dijon, 1 tbsp of mayo, ½ cup of olive oil, ¼ cup of red wine vinegar, ½ tsp of capers, ¼ tsp sugar, salt and pepper.
- Assemble the salad by filling a big bowl with 2-3 containers of Little Leaf Farms Baby Spring Mix. Add the cooked salmon, roasted fingerling potatoes, mushrooms, and leeks over the spring mix.
- Toss the ribbons of carrots and asparagus with a drizzle of the dressing before adding nests of the ribbons on top of the dish, garnish with radishes, cucumbers, and peas. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and dressing.
