This smoked salmon and cucumber ribbon salad is a wonderfully fresh and vibrant dish, perfect for a light lunch or an elegant dinner party starter. The combination of silky smoked fish, crisp Granny Smith apple and peppery watercress creates a sophisticated balance of textures. A zesty dressing infused with caraway seeds adds a warm, earthy depth that complements the coolness of the cucumber perfectly.

As a heart-healthy choice, this recipe is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and essential vitamins. The use of shop-bought smoked salmon makes it incredibly quick to assemble, requiring no actual cooking. Serve it on its own for a low-carbohydrate meal, or accompany with a slice of toasted rye bread to lean into those traditional Scandinavian-inspired flavours.
