A delicious summer salad layered with hot smoked salmon, radish, feta, edamame and lettuce.

Salmon works so well with fresh vegetables and creamy cheese. The brown rice base in this salad not only makes this a pretty healthy dish, but also means you'll feel fuller for longer after eating it.

I've used a rice cup with brown rice and quinoa for this version. Leftover brown rice or even quinoa by itself would be great substitutes if that's what you have in the cupboard/fridge. The radishes offer a brilliant peppery flavour and pop of bright pink colour.

The dressing is made from standard pantry items and works well on lots of salads. Although this recipe is inherently gluten free (both brown rice and quinoa are gluten free), be sure to check the back of your sauce bottles for 'traces of gluten' if you are coeliac.

HOW TO MAKE HOT SMOKED SALMON SALAD:

Start by cooking the rice cup as per the packet instructions. While that's cooking, layer the shredded lettuce in an even layer across the bottom of a large serving platter. When the rice is ready, scatter it on top of the lettuce. Next add the chopped spring onion, radishes, cucumber, tomatoes and avocado.

Place edamame beans in 1 cup of water and, then microwave for 4 minutes or until the beans are cooked. Remove from the microwave, drain, and add to the salad. Chop the smoked salmon into bite sized pieces then arrange on top of the salad with the chopped feta and almonds. Finally, whisk all the dressing ingredients together and drizzle all over the salad. Enjoy!
