You will be eating this salad again and again! The subtle meatiness of the salmon cakes is brightened by the zesty chive sauce. Both elements come together over greens in about 20 minutes, making this a speed demon of a recipe. Fantastic for lunch this salad can also do the heavy lifting as the central dish light summery dinner. Try these salmon cakes in your brunch buffet as well. If you have some steamed vegetables such as asparagus, peas or green beans, add them to the greens to pack in the veggies. Make a double batch of the sauce and use it as a dressing for a green salad later in the week.
