Toppings for smoked salmon bowls
Toppings add beautiful colors and textures! Other than the ingredients I use in the recipe below, here are a few more ideas.
Pineapple chunks or slices - Adds a tropical flavor. It’s really nice to have pockets of sweetness.
Avocado - Adds creamy rich flavor.
Nuts - Any nuts such as sliced almonds, crushed pecans or cashews. It adds a nice crunchy texture.
Cilantro - Switch out scallions to cilantro for a refreshing herby aroma.
Carrots - I recommend peeling carrots into ribbons with a peeler so that they hold the dressing nicely.
