Notes

When it comes to smoked salmon make sure that you're using high-quality salmon. This will ensure that your salad is both delicious and nutritious. Buy the the best smoked salmon you can afford.
When choosing a smoked salmon for your salad, look for one that has been cold smoked.
Cold smoked salmon has a more delicate flavor that pairs well with other ingredients in a salad.
I used arugula because that's my thing, but feel free to substitute other greens like baby spinach, mustard greens, mixed greens, or even collards.
Lime juice is a good substitute for fresh lemon juice.
I kept the toppings simple, because that's just how I roll, but feel free to top your salad with some chopped nuts, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, etc.
