Smoked Salmon Noodle Salad

We have been on a bit of a (smoked) salmon run this month. My boys love the taste of it and I love that it is full of protein and B group vitamins. I also love that no cooking is required, you can just add it to any dish and serve. This salad is very quick to make, light and fresh.
I used lemongrass as I enjoy the freshness and spark it brings a dish. The fresh flavour and cold noodles give the dish a summery feel. I have lemongrass from last year in my herb patch. It is a little damp on the ends from winter weather but once that is removed it is ready to use. The mint and basil are also from my garden.
I added “buy more basil” to my garden list after making this recipe. I have only one plant in so far, not nearly enough to keep the tomatoes, the household, or my pesto-loving friends happy.
This meal can be prepared during the day and set aside for the evening. It is an easy entertaining dish or good for evenings when there is running around to do after school.
Fresh and Fast is usually a Friday but I have a lovely giveaway for you on Friday instead. Be sure to visit again to enter.
Im obsessed with udon noodles! I love their chunky chewyness 🙂 You def need a bigger basil plant haha
