"If I tell you there's cheese on the moon, bring the crackers." -Tyronn Lue
I love a chopped salad like this for dinner. There are so many variations and this one happened because my wife sent me an email that said "Mediterranean salmon and white bean salad." That's it - just the title of a dish (this is how she shares recipe ideas with me) - but it conjured up the memory of a tuna and white bean salad that I used to have at one of my favorite restaurants.
Use your best extra virgin olive oil in this dish to get the most flavor from the salad dressing.
Servings: 2 | Serving size: 4 ounces salmon with white beans and vegetables
Cooking time: 30 minutes (does not include chilling time)
This recipe can easily be multiplied and keeps well for about 24 hours. For best results, dress the salad just before serving.
Place the water in a large skillet over high heat and add the vinegar.
As the water begins to come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and add the salmon (leave it in a filet).
Poach the salmon for about 8 to 12 minutes or until just firm.
Remove the salmon from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
Chill.
Place the garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, and salt in a mini-chopper or blender.
Puree until smooth.
Place the dressing in a large mixing bowl with the white beans, then chill well in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve, flake the chilled salmon into the bowl with the white beans.
Add the romaine lettuce, olives, tomatoes, green onions, capers, cucumber, and basil to the bowl and fold together.
Serve topped with the feta cheese and walnuts.
