A lovely salad combination which offers the perfect blend of flavours. The smokiness of the trout plays against the tart apple and honey apple cider vinaigrette. It’s a nice starter and perfect with a glass of buttery chardonnay.

Ingredients

1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced

1 lemon, zest and juice

8 ounces smoked trout fillet

1 avocado, sliced

1 head Bibb lettuce

Vinaigrette

2 tablespoons honey

1⁄4 cup olive oil

1⁄4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon

Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Whisk vinaigrette ingredients together until emulsified. Place apple in a bowl and soak with lemon juice and lemon zest. Divide trout into several pieces. Combine all ingredients and toss. Serves 2-3.
