Рецепт Smoked trout salad with arugula and fennel
This smoked trout salad with peppery arugula, crunchy fennel and horseradish dressing is the perfect light meal or elegant salad course.
So last week I showed you how to smoke trout -- or salmon or salt or lots of other stuff -- easily at home, either on the grill or your stovetop. (Yes, right on the stovetop!) And I promised that I'd show you some great ways to enjoy that smoked trout -- you know, other than just eating it with your fingers.
Today's that day.
This smoked trout salad gets some extra peppery flavor from fresh arugula, as well as a little complimentary crunch from sliced fennel. Drizzled with a horseradish dressing, it's an amazing blend of flavors that will have you wishing for seconds.
While this would be an easy but impressive salad course at any dinner (think of serving this at the holidays!), it's perfect -- and I prefer it -- as a standalone, light but delicious lunch or dinner.
Pair this smoked trout salad with a warm, crunchy baguette and a nice, crisp glass of white wine and you'll feel you've been transported to a Parisian sidewalk brasserie.
Oui, you will.
