Gravlax Salad Jars

Serves 6.

Written by
Gravlax Salad Jars
Bracing horseradish, beets, lemon, and yogurt are my preferred pairing with gravlax, all working to cut its richness for an immensely satisfying picnic meal. When you shake your salad jar or toss it all up in a bowl to serve family style, the flavours weave together, creating something brand new. [callout]

Tip

Because the salmon is cured, it will keep for longer outside of the fridge. Vegetarians and vegans can skip the gravlax or smoked salmon and add smoked tofu slices or cooked white beans in its place. [/callout]

  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsweetened plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) mayonnaise
