Rinse the lamb's lettuce thoroughly under cold water (it can be sandy). Gently spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. The leaves should be completely dry so the dressing adheres properly. Place in a large salad bowl.

Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds, half-moons, or dice it into cubes – whatever you prefer. If your cucumber has large seeds and is very watery, you can halve it lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon before slicing (but that's not necessary)!

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice or cube one half thinly. Optionally, squeeze a bit of lemon or lime juice over the avocado to prevent browning.

Wash the strawberries gently, pat dry, remove the green tops, and cut into halves or quarters depending on size. Rinse blueberries gently and pat dry.

Tear or cut the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces.

In a small bowl or jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (if using), and minced garlic (if desired). Whisk vigorously with a fork or shake the jar until the dressing is completely emulsified and creamy. Taste and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. The dressing should be tangy, slightly sweet, and well-balanced. Adjust to your preference – more vinegar for tanginess, more honey for sweetness, more mustard for a spicy kick.

Add everything to the bowl with the lamb's lettuce. Toss everything gently to distribute evenly.

Scatter the NutNut pecans, cashews, and almonds generously over the entire salad. These aren't just garnish – they're a key component providing healthy fats, protein, and that essential crunch that makes every bite interesting & so much more flavour ;)!

Crumble the feta cheese over the top, distributing it evenly.

Drizzle the vinaigrette over the entire salad. Add an extra crack of black pepper over the top. If you have fresh mint or basil leaves, tear them and scatter over the salad for extra freshness and aroma.

Enjoy while the lamb's lettuce is crisp, the berries are fresh, and the nuts are crunchy. This salad is best eaten fresh, though the components can be prepped ahead!

★ Nutrition Highlight: Smoked salmon is an exceptional source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which reduce inflammation, support brain health, and promote cardiovascular health. A 100g serving provides about 2.5g of omega-3s. It's also rich in high-quality protein, vitamin D (rare in food sources), B vitamins, and selenium. The mixed nuts add additional healthy fats, plant-based protein, vitamin E, magnesium, and zinc. Berries provide powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins and polyphenols that fight oxidative stress and support skin health from within. The combination of omega-3s from salmon, healthy fats from nuts and avocado, and antioxidants from berries makes this an amazing anti-inflammatory, and glowing skin-supporting meal ;)!
