Recipe for a delicious summer salmon salad

This is a recipe I love to make during warmer days. The salad is full of vitamins, low in carbs, medium in protein because of the added cottage cheese, and relatively high in good fats because of the salmon and avocado. 

Ingredients for about 3-4 portions:

• 300g smoked salmon 
• 4 tomatoes
• 1 cucumber
• 2 bell pepers
• 1/2 bag of pre-washed mixed salad
• 6 green asparagus
• 1 avocado
• 4 spoons of cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons of capers
• 6 dried tomatoes (not in oil)
• 1 small hand of pumpkin seeds
• Small bush of parsley
• 2 bulbs of garlic
• limejuice
• Fresh pepper

Method

1. Wash the asparagus and cut off the white back-end (the tail) of the vegetable. Cook the asparagus shortly for about 3-4 minutes in a pan. Take them out and let them cool down and drie on a cold plate. 
2. Cut the salmon in thin small slices and sprinkle with lemon juice and pepper to your taste. In some stores you can also buy pre-cut salmon, so you don't have to cut yourself anymore.
3. Cut the fresh tomatoes, dried tomatoes, cucumber and bell peppers in the shape you like. Also cut up the parsley and garlic. Peel the avocado, slice in half and take out the seed. Than slice the avocado in four pieces. 
4. Put all ingredients, but the avocado, in a large bowl and mix it up. Serve the avocado pieces on the side. 
5. Enjoy! :)
