Smoked Trout Salad Recipe

 

Ingredients

  • 1 oak leaf or other red lettuce, such as lollo rosso

  • 225g/8 oz small ripe tomatoes, cut into thin wedges

  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

  • 4 smoked trout fillets, about 200g/7 oz each, skinned and flaked coarsely

For the dressing

  • pinch of English mustard powder

  • 15-20ml/3-4 tsp white wine vinegar

  • 30ml/2 tbsp light olive oil

  • 100ml/3 1/2 fl oz natural yogurt

  • about 30ml/2 tbsp grated fresh or bottled horseradish

  • pinch of caster sugar

Serves 4


Method:

  1. To make the dressing, mix together the mustard powder and vinegar, then gradually whisk in the oil, yogurt, horseradish and sugar. Set aside for 30 minutes.

  2. Place the lettuce leaves in a large bowl. Stir the dressing again, then pout half of it over the leaves and toss lightly using two spoons.

  3. Arrange the lettuce on four individual plates with the tomatoes, cucumber and trout. Spoon over the remaining dressing and serve at once.

Notes : The addition of salt to the horseradish salad dressing should not be necessary because of the saltiness of the smoked trout fillets.
