Instructions

To prepare this delicious Yogurt Salad with Smoked Salmon and Shrimp, start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly and patting them dry with a cloth. Begin with the radicchio: slice it into thin strips, then place them in a small bowl and set it aside.

Next, tackle the lettuce: cut the head of iceberg lettuce in half and remove the tougher, more fibrous center. Slice the lettuce into thin strips and place them in another bowl. Set them aside as well.

Now, finely chop the chives and add them to a separate bowl.

For the smoked salmon, cut it into thin slices, then further slice each piece into small strips. Set the salmon aside, ready for mixing into the salad later.

Moving on to the shrimp, take a small pot and fill it with water. Bring it to a boil, then add the shrimp and cook them for about 1 minute. Once cooked, remove the shrimp using a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl to cool.

Now, it’s time to prepare the yogurt dressing. In a small bowl, combine the plain yogurt with extra virgin olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze in the juice of one lemon, then stir in the chopped chives to give the dressing a burst of flavor.

With all the ingredients prepped, you’re ready to assemble the salad. Take a large mixing bowl or a salad bowl, and begin by layering the iceberg lettuce, radicchio, and smoked salmon. Then, add the shrimp and drizzle the freshly made yogurt dressing over the top. Gently toss everything together until well combined, ensuring the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.

This refreshing and protein-packed salad is perfect as a light lunch, appetizer, or a delicious side dish for your next meal. Enjoy the perfect balance of flavors, from the creamy yogurt dressing to the delicate shrimp and rich smoked salmon!
