This easy salad is one I’ve adapted from the Canadian Salmon Advisory Service and used with their permission. Because it uses up a whole packet of each ingredient, you can make it when camping or on the road.

Tip: Making this recipe on the go? Use a packet of pre-cooked packet brown rice.
No cooked rice? You can substitute 1/2 cup (100 g) dried couscous. Boil 150 mL or 3/4 cup reduced-salt chicken or vegetable stock in a medium-sized pot. Remove from heat, then stir in the couscous. Cover and leave to swell for 2 minutes, then stir with a fork to separate and fluff up the grains.
No baby spinach leaves? Use a bag of spinach and rocket leaves, or a bag of mixed salad leaves.
No spring onions? Use ½ onion instead. Chop it very finely.
