This smoked salmon and boiled egg salad recipe is delicious, light and filling. I usually enjoy this salad for lunch but I also have it in the evening when I want a light dinner. The salad is nutritious and contains important nutrients such as omega 3 and 6 as well as many other vitamins and minerals.

The salmon and egg salad is made up of watercress, spinach and rocket then complemented with soft boiled eggs, smoked salmon, avocados, tomatoes and cucumbers. I then drizzle it with a lemon dressing that I find enhances the flavours further.
If you’re following a keto or low carb diet then this salad is perfect as it only contains 3.6 grams of carbohydrates. If you’re not following a low carb diet and but want to make this salad, you can serve this salad with a slice of seeded toast.

Recipe Tips
- When I make this salad, I usually have my eggs soft. This takes approximately 8 minutes. If you prefer your eggs hard boiled then boil your eggs for 10 minutes.
- I use baby spinach, watercress and rocket but you can use any salad leaves of choice.
