How To Serve This Smoked Salmon and Shrimp Salad in a Lime Vinaigrette
Usually, I serve this a starter if we are having a nice dinner for two or some guests over. Not a dish I serve to my kids….hahaha. Their taste buds haven’t quite reached this level of sophistication yet. So for now, we’re keeping this one for the adults. And I’m not complaining about that at all.

Smoked Salmon & Shrimp Salad
Ingredients
- 4 slices smoked salmon
- 20 shrimp cooked, peeled with tails in tack
- 3 Cups mixed salad greens
- Juice from 2 limes divided
- Grated lime zest from 2 limes divided
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh ground ginger
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- First make the vinaigrette dressing by adding the olive oil, lime juice, honey, ginger, grated lime zest and olive oil in a medium bowl. Whisk together until all ingredients are combined. Set aside.
- Next in a small bowl add the Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon of lime juice and 1 teaspoon of lime zest. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Place a piece of smoked salmon on each plate. Arrange around the outside of the salmon 5 shrimps on each plate. To make it look pretty you can arrange them so that one tail is facing in and the other out, in alternating order around the salmon. Add about a teaspoon of the yogurt dressing in the middle of each piece of salmon.
- In a large bowl, add the salad leaves and pour over dressing and coat well. Then serve a small amount of salad leaves over the salmon. Do this for each plate until they are all done. You should now have dressing left in your bowl. Drizzle a little over each plate and top with a tiny amount of the leftover Greek yogurt mixture. Serve immediately.
