This made for a very pleasant and tasty lunch! Since it was just for myself, I scaled this to 1 serving. There was more than plenty of dressing. The two changes I made were macadamia oil (instead of grapeseed, which I didn't have) and baby romaine lettuce (I'm not a big fan of frisee). I liked the delicate strips of cucumber, which melded in perfectly. I favor hot smoked salmon, although some times it can be hard to find. I'm glad I did. Thanks for sharing this unique salad.

I made this because I had some left-over hot-smoked salmon. I thought the flavors worked well together and the textures were nice.
