Cooking Tips

• For a smokier flavor, you can use hot-smoked trout instead of cold-smoked trout.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or shredded carrots for extra crunch and color.
• If you prefer a spicier salad, add some sliced Thai chili peppers or a drizzle of sriracha sauce to the dressing.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served fresh and should be consumed immediately.
• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• Before serving leftovers, give the salad a quick toss to redistribute the dressing and flavors.
