Do you ever get stressed about having people over, because you are not sure what to serve so you end up with the usual cheese and crackers? This dish is just as easy, healthier and will impress your guests. This dish is perfect and it is very easy to whip together, with only a few key ingredients.
I love sweet potato and combined with salmon and avocado, it really can’t get any better. I just think that this dish looks amazing too, the colours are gorgeous.
In this photo, I have used my beetroot cured salmon but you can use smoked salmon or trout if you would prefer. The cured salmon recipe is really easy but you do have to make it three days prior to when you need it and it is a bit more effort and forward planning than simply grabbing a packet of smoked salmon from the shops.
