Spring Greens with Smoked Fish and Herbed Aioli

This vibrant spring greens salad with smoked fish and herbed aioli is a sophisticated yet simple dish that celebrates fresh, seasonal flavours. The combination of peppery radicchio and tender baby leaves provides a crisp base for the rich, flaky smoked trout or whitefish. An elegant homemade aioli, infused with fresh chives and flat-leaf parsley, adds a creamy depth that perfectly balances the saltiness of the fish and the acidity of the lemon dressing.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in heart-healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil. Highly versatile and nutritious, it works beautifully as a light lunch or an impressive starter for a dinner party. You can even prepare the herbed aioli a day in advance to make assembly quick and effortless when you are ready to serve.
