Inspired by a memorable salad I had in Ikaria’s Blue Zone last summer, this fresh salad combines rich smoked salmon with bursts of sweet pomegranate, all tied together with a tangy honey mustard dressing.

Salad Ingredients:

• 4 cups mixed greens (arugula, spinach, lettuce)
• 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
• 1/2 pound smoked salmon, flaked (I like the wild-caught smoked salmon from Trader Joe’s)
• 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill

Honey Mustard Dressing Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, pomegranate seeds, smoked salmon, and goat cheese (if using).
2. Make dressing: Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl and whisk to combine. 
3. Drizzle with Honey Mustard Dressing and toss to coat.
4. Sprinkle chopped fresh dill on top.

This is the smoked salmon I use from TJs:
