Blueberry Salmon Avocado green salad

An ample salad for a crowd to get a taste. This is a scaled up and tossed version of a composed salad I did last year.

First allow me to review my Master Salad Schema:

  • Fresh greens
  • Vegetable(s)
  • A fruit
  • A meat
  • A nut, toasted
  • A soft to medium cheese
  • Grated Hard cheese(s)
  • A small amount of dressing
  • Fresh Ground Coriander
Depending on what is in season and what is on hand I vary the details and try to fill out the other choices to balance. In this case I used:

  • One head each of red leaf, green leaf, romaine lettuce
  • Two carrots, scrubbed, chopped, soaked in white balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh blueberries, and sliced avocado
  • Smoked Salmon (skinned, flaked, no bones)
  • Toasted pecans coarsely chopped
  • Fresh lemon curdled cheese
  • Grated Parmesan and Hirten Hard cheeses
  • A couple tablespoons of dressing (rice wine vinegar, a splash of apple cider vinegar, a little water, orange juice, 4 drops of orange essence, micro-planned ginger, roasting salt, hazelnut oil, walnut oil, olive oil, a little sesame oil)
  • Fresh Ground Coriander
Toss everything but the hard cheese and coriander with the dressing. Then put in presentation bowl and top with grated cheese and coriander.
