Prep Time: 15–20 minutes
Cook Time: 20–25 minutes
Ingredients
Raspberry Balsamic Vinaigrette
- 60 ml (¼ cup) La Belle Excuse Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Gaïa Rezerva
- 60 ml (¼ cup) La Belle Excuse Raspberry White Balsamic Vinegar
- 10 ml (2 tsp) honey
- 5 ml (1 tsp) La Belle Excuse Pennyroyal Mint Dried on Stem
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Salad
- 280 g (10 oz) salmon fillet
- 1 head curly lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
- A few handfuls of arugula
- 2 Persian cucumbers, sliced
- 120 ml (½ cup) fresh raspberries
- 1 pita, cut into pieces
- 120 ml (½ cup) crumbled feta cheese
Steps
- In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, raspberry white balsamic vinegar, honey, and dried mint. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour about 30 ml (2 tbsp) of the vinaigrette over the salmon and coat evenly. Let marinate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- Heat a generous drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pita pieces and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate and lightly season with salt.
- Preheat the barbecue to 400°F (205°C). Place the salmon on a cedar plank that has been soaked in water. Grill for 8–12 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the lettuce, arugula, cucumbers, raspberries, and feta. Add the salmon in large flakes, then top with the crispy pita pieces.
- Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve immediately.
