These Smoky Salmon Caesar Lettuce Wraps combine the rich flavor of Acme Salmon Candy with the crisp, fresh crunch of lettuce for a unique twist on the classic Caesar salad. Topped with a creamy homemade dressing, this recipe is perfect for anyone looking for healthy recipes or light dinner ideas.
Ingredients
- For the Wraps:
- 2 packs of Acme Salmon Candy
- 6 large romaine lettuce leaves
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 Persian cucumbers
- Slices of red onion
- ¼ cup pepitas
- For the Dressing:
- 2 tbsp capers roughly chopped
- 1 egg yolk
- Juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
- Sea salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- To make the dressing, combine the capers, egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sour cream, and parmesan cheese in a bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper, adjusting the olive oil for desired creaminess.
- In the same bowl, add sliced red onion, pepitas, and break the Acme Salmon Candy into bite-sized pieces. Mix until everything is well coated and creamy.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, toast the breadcrumbs, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes or until they begin to brown.
- To assemble, spoon the salmon Caesar mixture into each lettuce wrap and top with the crispy breadcrumbs.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter version, use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt.
- The crispy breadcrumbs add a nice texture contrast, but you can skip them for a low-carb option.
- This recipe is great as an appetizer, lunch, or dinner, and pairs well with a light salad on the side.
