Festive Smoked Salmon Wreath
This fun and colourful sharing platter makes a great centrepiece for any festive table. Start with a layer of crisp lettuce on a bed of smashed avocado, then pile on slices of cucumber, radish, fruit - whatever you love or have on hand. Finish it off with generous ribbons of rich, oak smoked salmon. It’s super fun to put together, looks amazing! - and tastes even better.
