Tip

We have chosen to top our salad with smoked salmon and grilled chicken, but you can of course use your own favorite protein, boiled eggs, mackerel, or canned tuna fish, or any kind of cold cuts you want. Olives, nuts, seeds, and cheese cubes are great flavorful additions.

Leafy greens such as spinach or arugula are great for this recipe. Iceberg lettuce or romaine works too. Green and red cabbage give a fresh crunch. Chopped broccoli or cauliflower also works great.
