The beauty of this salad is that the hard work has already been done for you! It’s also completely flexible - you can easily substitute any ingredients you don’t have and add the optional extras as you see fit.
The hero ingredient is the Salmon that has been marinaded in chermoula, a tasty mix of mint, coriander, lemon and chilli.
All you need to do is add in some additional greens to build a salmon salad base and throw in any leftovers you can find in your fridge or anything interesting you can sprinkle on top. Your guests are sure to be impressed with the result and won’t know that you took some short cuts!
