Here’s a super simple salad plate I served up for lunch today- it’s well balanced, filling and fresh. Canned legumes, pickles and quick salad dressings are all you need in the pantry to make a delicious and exciting salad with whatever’s left in the fridge.
For this lunch plate, I’ve used some quick and easy smoked salmon for protein, fresh baby cos lettuce, slivered radish and grilled asparagus for some crunch, canned brown lentils to add volume and satiety, pickled onions for a bit of bite, topped with a lemony greek yoghurt dressing for creaminess. I’ve added capers and fresh dill to brighten up the dish, and there you have it; lunch is served!
