FISH****Smoked Salmon or Whitefish Caesar Salad

By Unblond1

29/03/14 - Great for both. A really nice change from a chicken Caesar salad and the dressing went perfectly with it.

17/07/15 - Update - I replaced the smoked salmon with some Cajun smoked Whitefish from Tarini's - best yet! The texture of the fish stands up so much better than the thin slices of smoked salmon. This is the way to go if you're making this salad. Regular smoked whitefish works as well, although the cajun was a nice touch if its available.
