When people think of salad, they generally envision leafy greens. Well, not all salads are leafy—and definitely not remoulade. But it lends itself to being served on a bed of leafy greens. Or salmon. Or grilled chicken. Or even crisp little toasts. Take your pick.
Tip: For a lovely twist, fold in some julienned strips of smoked salmon.
