Ingredients

For the bowl

4 cups mixed salad greens such as baby spinach, spring mix, or arugula
6 ounces smoked salmon thinly sliced, preferably wild-caught
1 whole ripe avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
1/2 cup cucumber sliced or chopped, optional but recommended
2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped, or use a mix of dill and chives
2 tablespoons mixed seeds such as toasted sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds

For the lemon dressing

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about 1/2 large lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard check for no added sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste, go light because the salmon is salty
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

Add the mixed salad greens evenly to two serving bowls and gently fluff them with your hands to create a light base.
Arrange the smoked salmon in loose ribbons or folds over the greens, dividing it evenly between the bowls.
Fan the avocado slices over the greens and salmon, then scatter the cucumber pieces on top if using.
Sprinkle the chopped dill and mixed seeds evenly over each bowl to add fresh flavor and crunch.
In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until the dressing looks creamy and emulsified.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired to balance richness and brightness.
Drizzle the lemon dressing evenly over both bowls just before serving, focusing on the greens and avocado so everything is lightly coated.
Serve the smoked salmon avocado bowls immediately and gently toss at the table if you prefer everything mixed together.

Notes

For the best texture and flavor use smoked salmon that is freshly opened and well chilled, and slice the avocado just before assembling the bowls to keep it creamy and vibrant. If you want to meal prep this recipe, store the greens, salmon, and toppings in separate airtight containers, mix the dressing in a small jar, and slice the avocado right before eating so it does not brown. You can customize the bowl by swapping mixed greens for baby arugula, adding a few thin slices of radish, or topping with a spoonful of cream cheese for a stronger bagel-and-lox feel while still keeping carbs low. To keep the dish strictly keto avoid sweetened mustards or dressings and stick with lemon, olive oil, herbs, and seeds for clean flavors and healthy fats.
