Andrey’s Idea

Indeed, you might know me for introducing some unusual combos. I can assume some of you might have labeled them as “No way I would try this”. Like this lavender Blackberry Pasta.

Honestly, I am that person who’s been planning to incorporate lavender in a salad dressing. Doesn’t this sound fabulous?

However, I cannot take a credit for this Smoked Salmon Apricot Salad. Well, I am taking the credit for making the salad and taking the pictures. But the idea belongs to Andrey.

Hideous Salad

Yes, that’s right. Even though most of the time (Approximately 87,6%) I make the kitchen’s decisions by myself, once in a while I generously ask for Andrey’s opinion. He is actually good at developing recipes.

However, few times his ideas have been the way too creative.

Once, it was 2009 or so – time when I wasn’t a food blogger yet, he made a very special salad on his Birthday.  That was a Tomato salad with oranges and a horrendous sweet dressing of sour cream and ginger. That was the hideous salad I’ve ever tried (Well, mostly smelt and seen) in my entire life! Needless to say, most of the guests were really reluctant to give it a try.

To be impersonal, I should mention that that wasn’t the only Andrey’s fault because he had seen the idea in one food magazine. I am not sure if the editor is still working here.

Smoked Salmon Apricot Salad. Scrumptious Salad

But I cannot say anything negative about this Smoked Salmon Apricot Salad because it was truly delicious. Unfortunately, the apricots weren’t that great – ripe but not meaty and juicy enough. But we cannot blame Andrew for them, right? Sure, with the mellow sweet apricots, this salad would be even more delicious.

Anyways, smoked salmon and apricots turned to be great friends. Should I mention goat cheese and a creamy avocado dressing to go with the salad?

So if you a fan of trying slightly unusual combos, this Smoked Salmon Apricot Salad is perfectly for you!

What’s your most unusual salad you’ve ever tried?

Would you give a try a Tomato orange salad with a sweet sour cream and ginger dressing?

    I am loving the idea of pairing smoked salmon, apricots, arugula and goat cheese! I was gonna say that you are a genius, Ben, but then I read that Andrey is the real genius behind this. Kudos to both of y’all!

    You always have the best salads, Ben! But now I realize that Andrey is the creative force behind them. Laura has assumed the title of ‘creative director of spicedblog.com’ and I suggest that Andrey apply for the same job at havocinthekitchen.com. We could even have business cards made up for him! Hah! Love this recipe…smoked salmon is delicious!
