  • 2 cups watercress
  • 170g smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup raw unsalted walnut halves/pieces
  • 1/2 small ripe avocado, sliced or diced
  • 2-3 tbsp thinly sliced or minced red onion

Ginger Citrus Vinaigrette (you will have some leftover):

  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Make the dressing: In a small container or mason jar, shake up all of the ingredients. Add a few pinches of sea salt + black pepper to taste. Set aside.

  4. Arrange the smoked salmon pieces between the bowls, followed by the sprouts to garnish. Serve with additional dressing on the side if needed.
