Simple Smoked Salmon Salad with pickled red onions. Super easy and you can throw this salad together in under 5 minutes. If you like smoked salmon, you have to give this salad a try!

Smoked salmon on an everything bagel is my go-to order always when I’m at a bagel shop. And come to think of it, this might be the first time I’ve had smoked salmon without a bagel. I’ve been eating more protein now than I ever have and you can only eat chicken for so many days before getting sick of it. Chicken, beef, ground beef patties, turkey, ground turkey, fish, salmon and tofu. You name it, I’ve eaten it in just these last 4 weeks.

Next week, I’ll probably move on to beans. 🙂

The smoked salmon in this salad was so delicious. The saltiness adds flavor and compliments the fresh, crunchy cucumbers, picked red onions and lettuce. I should have added avocado. I don’t know what I was thinking. I was just trying to get my lunch ready so I could eat!

If you aren’t eating smoked salmon, it may be time to add it to your diet. Smoked salmon is packed with nutrients, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which will boost your health and lower your risk of cancer, heart disease, and cognitive decline.

What Is Smoked Salmon?

Many people confuse smoked salmon for lox. The difference is that lox is cured, but smoked salmon goes through the process of smoking. Both are usually eaten on crackers or bagels along with cream cheese and other toppings.

If you don’t have pickled red onions on hand for this salad, I highly recommend adding something sour and crunchy like pepperoncinis or banana peppers. I hope you give this salad a try!
