Let us know how it was!Some foods create a clamor, while others bring a hush. This salad is all about the latter. It’s that moment when you sit down, take the first bite, and everything seems to slow down.
I love that it doesn’t try to impress. It simply maintains its level. Like a person who doesn’t shout but is always heard. Perhaps that’s why you want to keep coming back to it.
This salad is especially popular at buffets and banquets, often served in individual little tartlets. This format looks neat and festive, is convenient for guests, and doesn’t require additional utensils. The combination of avocado and salmon is always perceived as a light yet exquisite appetizer, which is why this salad should definitely be included in the festive menu — it quickly disappears from the table and is loved by most guests.
I make this salad when I want something light without compromises. When I don’t want heavy food, but still crave a sense of fullness and satisfaction. It’s perfect for a late breakfast, a quiet dinner, or a lunch you want to prepare just for yourself, rather than just to eat.
This dish always looks appropriate. At home, on the table for guests, and even when you’re just cooking for your own enjoyment.
