SALMON, FRESH BLUEBERRIES AND LEMON SALAD WITH CHIVE VINAIGRETTE image

Categories     Salad     Berry     Fish

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 cups salad greens, in small pieces
1 lb salmon fillet, poached
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
lemon zest to garnish
Vinaigrette :
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chives

Steps:

  • Divide salad greens on four salad plates. Tear salmon into medium pieces and arrange on greens. Sprinkle on blueberries. Top with lemon zest. In a jar with a lid, add all vinaigrette ingredients. Shake well. Serve salads chilled with the dressing alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh chives: Use fresh chives for the best flavor. Look for chives that are bright green and have no signs of wilting.
  • Chop the chives finely: Finely chop the chives so that they will evenly distribute throughout the vinaigrette.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: The type of vinegar you use will greatly affect the flavor of the vinaigrette. For a classic vinaigrette, use a white wine vinegar or a champagne vinegar. If you want a more robust flavor, try using a red wine vinegar or a balsamic vinegar.
  • Add some Dijon mustard: Dijon mustard will help to emulsify the vinaigrette and give it a creamy texture. It will also add a subtle tanginess.
  • Season to taste: Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of sugar to balance out the acidity of the vinegar.
  • Let the vinaigrette rest: Let the vinaigrette rest for at least 30 minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Chive vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and meat dishes. It is a simple and easy-to-make vinaigrette that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a delicious and healthy dressing, give chive vinaigrette a try!
