Warm Salmon Quinoa & Lentil Salad
Simple and satisfying: this is exactly what a salad should be. We make it easy with a ready-to-go mix of fibre-rich quinoa and lentils. Flake over tender hot-smoked salmon for even less faff. Scatter over crunchy radish and vibrant dill. Finish with crisp salad leaves, the essential green. A salad to give you fuel and on those long sunny nights.
