Salmon and Avocado Salad with Japanese Ponzu Dressing

If you have a nearby Costco, they usually carry Norwegian smoked salmon (the one with three rows of different smoked salmon). This comes in handy for pizzas, pastas, quiche, etc. You can buy “ponzu” soy, but I prefer making this dressing as shown. In place of the arugula I used baby romaine as a bed for the salmon.

Salmon & Avocado Salad with Japanese Ponzu Dressing

Ingredients:

Method:

1. In a large salad bowl, combine the ingredients for the ponzu dressing, and whisk well.
