2 slices (2.0 oz / 57g) smoked salmon, roughly chopped
3 tbsp (1.5 oz / 43g) mayonnaise
1 tbsp (0.5 oz / 15g) lime juice
1 tbsp (0.5 oz / 14g) extra virgin olive oil
ש
1 cup (1.7 oz / 47g) romaine lettuce, shredded
1 tsp (0.1 oz / 3g) onion flakes
0.5 (3.5 oz / 100g) avocado, thinly sliced
Source High-Quality Salmon: Since the salmon is the star of the show, opt for cold-smoked salmon (like lox) from a reputable fishmonger or a high-quality wild-caught brand at your grocery store. It provides a silkier texture that blends beautifully with the dressing.
Prevent Avocado Browning: If you aren't serving this immediately, toss your avocado slices in a tiny splash of extra lime juice before adding them to the salad. The citric acid will keep them beautifully green.
Lighten Up the Dressing: If you want to increase the protein and lower the fat, you can swap half (or all) of the mayonnaise for plain, full-fat Greek yogurt. It adds a wonderful tang that pairs perfectly with the lime juice.

Combine the chopped smoked salmon, mayonnaise, lime juice, extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt in a small mixing bowl, stirring until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Arrange the shredded romaine lettuce evenly across a serving platter or wide salad bowl, then sprinkle the onion flakes evenly over the greens.
Spread the creamy smoked salmon mixture directly over the bed of lettuce, then elegantly arrange the sliced avocado on top and serve immediately.
Chill Your Platter: For the crispest romaine lettuce and a refreshing bite, chill your serving platter or salad bowl in the fridge for 10 minutes before assembling.
