Composed Salad of Smoked Salmon, Cucumber, Mâche, Egg, and Asparagus

Author Notes

An original recipe Daytona created to be published in an April issue of the Norwegian American Weekly, this is a new favorite recipe of the Seattle-based food writer. With its variety of spring vegetables along with smoked salmon and egg, it's a spring salad with a Nordic touch, and could easily be considered a Norwegian variation on the classic salade nicoise. —Daytona Strong

Ingredients
  • For the vinaigrette:
  • 3 tablespoons wal
  • 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly-ground black pepper

  • 12 spears of pickled asparagus
  • 4 soft-boiled eggs, halved

  • medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, quartered
Directions
  1. To make the dressing, whisk walnut oil, champagne vinegar, dill, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper together in a small bowl until emulsified. Toss mâche with the dressing until coated.
  2. Distribute mâche between four salad plates or shallow bowls, then arrange three asparagus spears, one egg, two ounces of salmon, a quarter of the cucumber slices, and a lemon wedge on each plate. Serve immediately.

Will definitely be making this!

FYI: The first ingredient "wal" sent me down a strange internet search. :-) But then reading the instructions, I see that it is supposed to be "walnut oil." Might want to correct that.
