Some recipes win you over with complexity, while others stand out for their ability to turn a few well-chosen ingredients into something truly memorable. This smoked salmon salad with Maurice tomato and scamorza definitely belongs to the second category: a simple, fresh, and quick dish that delivers a strong visual impact from the very first glance.
It’s the perfect choice when you want to serve something light but not boring—refined without requiring long prep time. Ideal for an elegant lunch or a summer dinner, maybe outdoors, this salad brings together flavour, colour, and creativity in a way that instantly impresses.
The contrast between the vibrant red of the Maurice tomato and the yellow cherry tomatoes, the creaminess of the avocado, the delicate taste of scamorza, and the bold character of smoked salmon creates a balanced and complete dish. This approach reflects modern, visually striking recipes, like those featured in the Smokin' Brothers recipe collection, where simplicity and presentation take centre stage.
The result? A salad that looks like it came from a restaurant, yet can be prepared in just a few minutes at home.
Ingredients
- 100 g Smokin Brothers smoked salmon
- 1 large Maurice tomato
- 7 yellow cherry tomatoes
- 1 ripe avocado
- A handful of your favourite salad leaves
- 1 small red onion
- 4–5 slices of scamorza cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Agave syrup, to taste
- Gomasio, to taste
Method
- Start with the star vegetable of the dish: the Maurice tomato. Slice it into medium-thick rounds and arrange them on your serving plate to create a wide, neat, and visually appealing base.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it thinly. Place the slices in small groups over the tomato—this helps create movement and adds depth to the dish.
- Add a handful of your favourite salad leaves in the centre to build height. Then scatter the halved yellow cherry tomatoes evenly across the plate for a nice colour contrast.
- Now place the slices of scamorza here and there, keeping the arrangement natural rather than too structured.
- Finally, add the main ingredient: the smoked salmon. Lay it generously in soft folds to make the dish look rich and inviting. Finish with a few rings of red onion for a touch of colour and sharpness.
The final touch: the dressing
To bring everything together, prepare a simple but balanced dressing:
- extra virgin olive oil
- a drizzle of agave syrup
- salt and pepper
Gently pour it over the salad and finish with a sprinkle of gomasio for a slightly nutty, crunchy note.
Final tip
The real secret of this recipe isn’t just the ingredients—it’s the plating. Don’t mix everything together. Instead, build the salad thoughtfully, working in layers and visual groups.
This way, you’ll turn a simple salad into a modern, elegant, and highly “Instagrammable” dish that impresses before the first bite.
Easy to make, but with a final result that truly stands out.
