When it’s really hot outside, no-one wants piping hot food for lunch!
This simple, classy, cold salmon salad is the perfect way to enjoy the summer heat while sipping on a fabulous glass of chilled sauvignon blanc.
You can also use hot smoked trout (cooled, flaked) for this salad or some braised shrimps.
This recipe is perfect for picnics or dining in the garden during these first days of summer. The rich and buttery flavour of salmon matches perfectly with the fresh and light taste of ricotta, and lemon, and the result is a meal easy to prepare but healthy and very tasty.

200 g mixed salad leaves
300 g melon fruit
