Notes

For best flavor, use wild-caught smoked salmon and organic arugula.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice and mustard to suit your taste preferences.
The salad can be customized with additional keto-friendly toppings like chopped hard-boiled eggs or cucumber slices.
If you prefer a creamier dressing, you can add a dollop of full-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream to the dressing mixture.
Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for best quality.
