Fresh, colourful and full of texture

This salmon salad combines tender asparagus, earthy black lentils, baby spinach and juicy Mutti Cherry Tomatoes in a dish that feels both light and satisfying. Salmon adds richness, while fresh basil and sesame seeds bring an aromatic and slightly nutty finish.

Warm tomatoes, crisp greens

Briefly warming Mutti Cherry Tomatoes in olive oil enhances their sweetness while keeping their shape and juiciness. Served alongside fresh spinach and asparagus, they add a warm, vibrant contrast that makes this Mediterranean salad especially inviting.

A bright dressing to bring it all together

Lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil and a touch of maple syrup create a dressing that is fresh, tangy and lightly sweet. Drizzled over the salmon and asparagus salad, it balances the richer ingredients and ties every element together into an easy, colourful meal.
