Barley, Romaine Lettuce, and Scottish Salmon Salad
How about a wonderful delicacy that is also healthy? How about one that is also quick and easy to make? You can use commercial caesar dressing, or you can make your own (ingredients and instructions are in the recipe). We prefer to make our own Caesar dressing.
Most people boil their barley in water but I find that using chicken stock gives the barley some additional flavor.
BTW, I’ve tried several brands of Scottish salmon and the two best are:
- Spence & Co. Traditional Scottish Style Smoked Salmon
- Ducktrap Kendall Brook Cold-Smoked Salmon
