Categories     Salad     Bean     Olive     Tomato     Backyard BBQ     Lunch     Lemon     Basil     Salmon     Green Bean     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Healthy     Lettuce     Sugar Conscious     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Diabetes-Friendly

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 pound salmon steak (leftover grilled salmon is fine)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons if using raw fish, plus more to taste if necessary
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
more extra-virgin olive oil to taste if necessary
Several sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, if using raw fish
1 red or yellow bell pepper
Juice of 1 large lemon, plus more to taste if necessary
3 cups cooked or canned white beans, drained
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup diced shallots
12 to 15 good black or green olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup minced fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
freshly ground black pepper
4 cups torn assorted salad greens (trimmed, washed and dried)

Steps:

  • If you are starting with raw salmon, start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill or broiler; the rack should be about 4 inches from the heat source. Marinate the fish in the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the thyme.
  • When the fire is ready - it should be quite hot - grill the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side. At the same time, grill the red pepper. Cool, peel and seed it, then cut into strips.
  • Cool the fish, then cut it into small cubes and toss it with the lemon juice, beans, and remaining olive oil while you prepare the other ingredients. Add the tomatoes, shallots, olives, and herbs to the salmon. Taste for salt and pepper and correct the balance between olive oil and lemon juice if necessary. Serve on a bed of greens, topped with the strips of grilled red pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: Using fresh and flavorful ingredients will greatly enhance the taste of your salad. Look for crisp and vibrant cucumbers, tender green beans, and a succulent salmon fillet.
  • Properly cook the salmon: To ensure the salmon is cooked perfectly, pan-sear it until it is opaque and flaky on the inside but still slightly pink in the center. Alternatively, you can bake the salmon in the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to mix and match different vegetables in this salad. Some other options that pair well with salmon include cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions, and avocado.
  • Make a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what brings all the flavors together in this salad. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and herbs like dill or chives to create a tangy and aromatic dressing.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Drizzle just enough dressing to coat the salad lightly, and toss to combine. Overdressing can make the salad soggy and dilute the flavors.

Conclusion:

This salmon, cucumber, and green bean salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for summer gatherings or light meals. It combines the delicate taste of salmon with the crispness of cucumbers and green beans, all tossed in a tangy and aromatic dressing. With its vibrant colors and textures, this salad is sure to impress your taste buds and leave you feeling satisfied and refreshed. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and enjoy the process of creating this delightful culinary masterpiece!
