Scale
For the Salad
- 1 lb salmon
- 3/4 cup white quinoa
- 1 romaine heart
- 5 ounces of baby arugula
- 1/4 head small red cabbage
- 1/4 bunch of cilantro
- 2 avocados
- 2 cups tortilla chips
For the Jalapeno Lime Dressing:
- 1 jalapeno
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 bunch, about 1 cup cilantro (leaves and stems)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 3 grounds black pepper
- 3 limes, juiced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
Instructions
- In a small pot, add the 3/4 cup of quinoa, 1.5 cups of water, and pinch of kosher salt. Bring up to a boil, then stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. When finished, remove the lid, fluff, and let cool.
- Prep the produce – cut the romaine, red cabbage, cilantro (you can keep this picked if you prefer) and avocado.
- Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, taste, adjust seasoning as desired, then pour into a mason jar or glass container.
- Cut the salmon into 4 individual portions and salt generously. Heat a pan on medium high heat then sear the salmon for about 3 minutes on each side (depending not the thickness of the salmon). Flip occasionally to prevent burning and reduce the heat as needed.
- Assemble the salad by assembling a bed of the romaine and arugula. Top with a few spoonfuls of the cooked quinoa, and then the red cabbage, chopped cilantro, and avocado.Spoon a few tablespoons of the dressing onto the salad, mix and taste for seasoning. Taste and adjust vinaigrette or salt as desired, then top with the salmon, a handful of crumbled tortilla chips, and serve immediately.
Notes
Note that some limes are contain more juice than others. If you taste the dressing and it’s a bit too acidic for your liking, add another squeeze of honey, pinch of salt, and another few tablespoons of olive oil.
