Orange Sesame Chopped Salad with Wild Salmon

August 25, 2012 By Jittery Cook 7 Comments

I had my first internet date.  Anne from Cocovie was in town. We met over the internet and scheduled an impromptu lunch, where we discussed her impending entry into the Quebec marketplace. Anne is a lovely 31 year old entrepreneur spreading coconut joy far and wide. This is what she brought especially for me:

I’m not going to tell you just how delicious her coconut jams are. I’m just going to keep after Anne until she manages to get her Cocovie products into our stores. You can of course order them, if you’re not the waiting type.

This was a last minute arrangement, so I quickly threw together this light lunch. I’m pretty sure you’re going to like this one. We did.

Final notes:

  • Credit for inspiring this delicious meal goes to Mollie Katzen’s Salads – Orange Sesame Dressing. As per usual, this version has half the amount of oil and several other tweaks. Her book is a must-have for salad lovers.
  • Credit for recommending the healthiest canned salmon (you can order online) goes to Harriet Sugar Miller of Eat and Beat Cancer. I’ll be truly impressed and grateful when somebody figures out how to get this superior salmon into our stores.
  • Thanks to Sonia Ribaux of  Clicking50 for contributing the Sweet Pepper and Tomato Sauce and to Elizabeth Joffe for the Roasted Tomato Sauce.

      Coconut jam is sweet and creamy with a wonderful coconut flavour. Come on over for a spoonful.

    This salad and your picture presentation of it looks delicious. Can’t wait to try it. Will it make a real difference not using the coconut ingredients.
    Regards,
    Dorothy

      No. It will taste perfect either way.
      I do recommend ordering the salmon online. It’s a great product.
