Wild Greens and Smoked Trout Salad

This salad is a refreshing and flavorful way to enjoy the bounty of spring. The combination of wild greens, smoked trout, radishes, and red onion is a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The lemon vinaigrette adds a bright acidity that brings all the ingredients together. This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up any leftover smoked trout.

The inspiration for this salad came to me one day when I was hiking in the mountains. I came across a patch of wild greens that were just starting to sprout, and I couldn't resist picking a few to eat. The greens were so fresh and flavorful, and I knew that they would be perfect in a salad. I also had some smoked trout in my backpack, and I thought that the two flavors would go well together. When I got home, I added some radishes and red onion to the salad, and I finished it off with a simple lemon vinaigrette. The salad was a hit, and I've been making it ever since.
