A really tasty summer salad with salmon. Bulghur weat is a nice addition, but feel free to use quinoa instead.
They both works equally well. I have planted a lot of vegetables and herbs in my garden but it is still to early to harvest most of them. Except for arugula, salad leaves and basil which I have used in this salad.
