In a food processor or blender, process the vinaigrette ingredients until smooth. -
Put the salad ingredients except the salmon on a serving platter. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently. Crumble the salmon on top. Serve immediately for peak flavor and texture.
Tip: Freezing gingerroot keeps it fresher longer and makes it easier to peel and mince. Wrap the unpeeled root in aluminum foil and freeze it for up to six months. When you’re ready to use it, peel the gingerroot with a paring knife or vegetable peeler. Grate it with a rasp grater. Or, you can slice the frozen gingerroot and use a rotary grater to quickly mince a large quantity.
