My Market Kitchen: Trout and Udon Noodle Salad

smoked trout

🥗Healthier: smoked salmon

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides protein.

udon noodles

🥗Healthier: zucchini noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Zucchini noodles are lower in calories while spaghetti is a cost-effective substitute.

Prepare the dressing by combining sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, lime juice, and fresh ginger in a bowl.

Chop cucumber, spring onions, cilantro, and lettuce into small pieces.

Cook udon noodles according to package instructions until tender, then drain and rinse under cold water.

In a large bowl, combine the cooked udon noodles, chopped smoked ocean trout, cucumber, spring onions, cilantro, and lettuce.

Pour the dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture, tossing gently to combine until everything is evenly coated.

If desired, add fried shallots or toasted sesame for extra flavor and crunch.

Serve the salad immediately, ensuring it is well mixed and presented attractively.
