17/11/2023

I would be happy to help you prepare a spinach salad with potatoes, salmon, and feta. It’s a dish that combines fresh flavors and nutritious ingredients, and it’s simple to prepare. Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 150 g of fresh spinach
  • 200 g of smoked salmon
  • 2-3 medium potatoes
  • 100 g of feta cheese
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chives (optional)
  • Sesame or sunflower seeds (optional)

Preparation

  1. Start by boiling the potatoes in salted boiling water until they are tender but still firm. Estimated cooking time: 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Once cooked, drain, let them cool down and then cut them into cubes.

  2. In the meantime, wash the spinach thoroughly and drain it. If necessary, cut the larger leaves to make them bite-sized.

  3. Take the smoked salmon and cut it into medium-width strips.

  4. Cut the feta into cubes. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can crumble it.

  5. In a large bowl, combine the spinach, potato cubes, and smoked salmon.

  6. Prepare an emulsion with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; adjust the quantities according to your preference.

  7. Pour the emulsion over the salad and mix gently to evenly distribute the dressing without breaking the ingredients.

  8. Add the feta cubes to the salad and mix again, this time even more gently.

  9. If you like, add some chopped chives and sesame or sunflower seeds for a crunchy and nutritious touch.

  10. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary.

  11. Serve the salad as a one-dish meal for a light lunch or as a side dish.

You can complement this dish with a fresh and fruity white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio or a Sauvignon Blanc, which pair well with the freshness of the spinach and the bold flavor of the salmon.

Curiosity

The combination of salmon and spinach is a classic in healthy cuisine, rich in Omega-3 and iron. The feta adds a savory Mediterranean note that balances the flavors well. This salad is an excellent choice for those looking for a complete yet light and easy-to-prepare meal.
