About

Gin in a salad – it has to be a winner! The citrus and gin marinade gently cooks the raw salmon, and combines with a zingy dressing, earthy beetroot and juicy brambles for a fresh, light and subtle salad.

The sloe salmon needs at least four hours in the marinade so it cooks in the citrus. For the best results, leave it in overnight – it will be fine in the fridge for up to four days.
The dressing will keep for up to ten days in the fridge.
