A nourishing quick meal
I love this recipe not only because it is prepared in no time but also nutrient-dense. The smoked salmon acts as the protein source in this recipe, packing some omega-3 fatty acids and a dose of Vitamin D. The fresh cucumber is the perfect base for the smoked salmon adding some crunch to this dish. Cucumbers store a variety of vitamins, like Vitamin C and K amongst others, making this a powerhouse vegetable. Last but not least, the herb vinaigrette is the ideal topping to complete this dish. It packs three aromatic herbs making this a wholesome meal, perfect for a balanced lifestyle.
