Cucumber Celery Salad

Although it was cold last night, I thought that a cucumber and celery will go well with the salmon and broccoli dish.

Fennel and Carrot Salad

You can use any crunchy vegetable such as carrots and turnips for example. I cooked the beets very slightly so they were a little crunchy. My husband loved this dish so much he even asked if he could take it to the office for lunch!
