Smoked Salmon Salad is a light and refreshing (but surprisingly filling) salad that sure to be a favorite!

Why This Recipe Works

1. Smoked Salmon: I am such a fan of smoked salmon! It is perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack! I love using it here as the main protein for this easy summer salad.
2. Cucumber: This adds that little bit of a crunch to the salad so the textures aren’t all soft.
3. Poached Egg: I think of a poached egg as bringing the gravy-like topping to this salad and it just gets to that next level.

Smoked Salmon vs. Lox

Smoked salmon is more of a blanket term that can refer to any kind of smoked salmon, but there are lots of different kinds! One of those kinds is “Lox” which is usually cured in a salty brine mixture for several weeks. Here is a great run-down of all things smoked salmon!
