Salmon Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette


Tonight’s dish will be thrown into the “Toss” file. Hubby just picked at his plate; couldn’t bring himself to eat it.  When asked why; he didn’t like the dressing, which truly was more like a smoothie in texture versus a vingerette. 

I have to admit that this dish didn’t dazzle my tastebuds either but I did enjoy the fresh strawberries.  They are in season, they were sweet and I was hungry!  

My favourite salad using tin fish to date: 
Tuna Nicoise Salad

Or if quickly packing a lunch; salad greens with flavoured tin tuna, ex.  Lemon Dill.
