"This versatile & spec occasion salad for the seafood lovers among us is from "The Carnival Experience" Cookbook by Peter Leypold (Exec Chef of Carnival Cruise Lines) & has a lot to recommend it. It's ideal as a luncheon entree, starter/salad course for an elegant dinner party or part of a cold soup, salad & dessert summer patio party when you want to spare yourself cooking in a hot kitchen by serving things easily made ahead. (Times were not specified. I allowed 15 min for ingredient prep, but time does not include marinating the salmon under refrigeration & per the recipe assumes the other ingredients are prepared in advance). Enjoy! ... *EDITED TO ADD:* This recipe is being submitted for approval for play in the Culinary Quest #3 as a modernized seafood version of the classic chef salad popularized in New York City."
