How To Make Smoked Salmon, Green Apple, Cucumber & Galbani Mozzarella Salad?

1. Prepare the Cucumber: Using a peeler, create thin ribbons from the cucumber and lay them on a plate or baking tray lined with a kitchen towel. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cover with another piece of kitchen paper. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Cube the Mozzarella: Cut the mozzarella into rough cubes. Tear the smoked salmon into long strips. Combine the mozzarella and salmon in a bowl, seasoning with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil (about 15ml).
3. Prepare the Dill and Cucumber: Finely chop the fresh dill (about 15g) and place it in a second bowl. Add the cucumber ribbons to this bowl and toss gently to combine.
4. Prepare the Apple: Peel the skin off the green apple and cut it into ribbons using the peeler. Add the apple ribbons to the bowl with the cucumber, then mix in a small handful of chopped dill and a drizzle of olive oil (about 15ml).
5. Assemble the Salad: On a plate, arrange the cucumber, apple, and dill mixture alongside the mozzarella and salmon. Finish by sprinkling with more chopped dill, adding pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if available.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mozzarella, salmon, and dill make a huge difference in flavor. Make sure all your ingredients are fresh for the best taste.
• Chill the Salad: After assembling, let the salad chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes. This helps the flavors to blend better.
• Cut the Apple Thinly: For the best texture and flavor, slice the apple into thin ribbons using a peeler, making it easier to mix with the other ingredients.
• Season Well: Don’t forget to season with enough salt and pepper. A small drizzle of olive oil and fresh dill elevate the taste.
• Add Lemon: A squeeze of lemon juice at the end gives the salad a fresh, zesty flavor that perfectly balances the richness of the mozzarella and salmon.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the leftover salad cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
