Begin by marinating the salmon fillet in a shallow dish with fresh lemon juice and a splash of soy sauce. Let it rest while prepping the rest.
In a large salad bowl, dice the avocados, mango, and feta into small pieces. Feta's creamy texture pairs beautifully with these fruits.
Cut the marinated salmon into small cubes and add to the bowl. Sprinkle with ginger powder, finely chop and stir in the cilantro, then season with salt and pepper. Mix gently and refrigerate until serving. Enjoy!
This standout starter costs less than €3 per person for 6 servings—total around €15-20 depending on your market: ~€4 for avocados, €2.50 for mango, €5 for salmon, €2.50 for feta, and €5 for seasonings. Yet it leaves a lasting impression on food lovers!
