How to Make Scandinavian Rice Salad With Smoked Salmon

  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of rice and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  3. Once cooked, rinse the rice under cold water until completely cool. Set aside.
  4. While the rice cooks, prepare the vegetables: chop 1/2 cup of fresh dill, 1/2 cup of thinly sliced cucumber, and 2 scallions.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooled rice, 1 cup of frozen peas (thawed), chopped cucumber, dill, and scallions.
  6. Gently fold in 8 ounces of smoked salmon, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the zest and juice of 1 lemon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with extra dill sprigs if desired. Enjoy with rye bread or crispbread!
