"Dandelion" Salad with Smoked Salmon

My family's favorite salad for the last 10 years. This is quite literally the dish that won over my future husband. The first time he came to visit, this is the salad I made. There were plenty of other dishes on the table, but this one made a lasting impression on him. Ever since, I've made it for every family celebration — no gathering is complete without it. We recently marked another anniversary, and of course it was on the table again. The best part is that no one has grown tired of it.
