Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 200g smoked salmon
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado lightly, leaving some chunks for texture.

- Next, take the smoked salmon and slice it into thin strips or pieces, depending on your preference. Set aside.
- Now, take the cherry tomatoes and halve them. You can also season them lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- To assemble the salad, start by placing a generous spoonful of the mashed avocado mixture in the center of each serving plate.
- Arrange the smoked salmon on top of the avocado, creating a beautiful rose shape by rolling the strips of salmon and placing them in a circular pattern.
- Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the avocado and salmon on each plate, adding a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
- For the finishing touch, garnish the salad with fresh dill sprigs, which will add a lovely aroma and complement the flavors of the smoked salmon and avocado.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Smoked Salmon Tomato and Avocado Rose Salad fresh!
Tips
- Choose ripe, but firm avocados to ensure the perfect texture and easy mashing.
- Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor and most beautiful rose presentation.
- Chill your plates beforehand to keep the salad fresh and enhance its visual appeal.
- For the salmon rose, roll the strips gently and start from the outer edge, working inward.
- Use fresh dill just before serving to maintain its vibrant color and aromatic qualities.
- If preparing in advance, add lemon juice to the avocado immediately to prevent browning.
- Experiment with different salmon cuts and thicknesses for varied presentation styles.
- Consider adding a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for an extra layer of flavor.
