Coastal Smoked Salmon Sandwich with Red Spinach & Microgreens
When the sun is shining and the sea is only a few steps away, there are few lunches that feel more satisfying than a freshly made smoked salmon sandwich.
At WeGrow Farms, we believe simple ingredients deserve to shine. Freshly harvested greens, artisan bread and quality produce don't need complicated recipes—they simply need to work together.
This Coastal Smoked Salmon Sandwich combines rich smoked salmon, creamy cheese, crisp red spinach and delicate red amaranth microgreens to create a lunch that's elegant enough for a restaurant yet easy enough to make at home.
Whether you're planning a family picnic, creating a seasonal café menu or looking for inspiration for your next lunch, this recipe celebrates the best of fresh British produce.

Why Red Spinach?
Traditional lettuce is familiar, but red spinach offers vibrant colour, a delicate flavour and a crisp texture that complements smoked salmon beautifully.
It turns an everyday sandwich into something worthy of a café menu while adding visual appeal that immediately catches the eye.
Why Microgreens?
Microgreens aren't just decorative.
Their concentrated flavour, delicate texture and striking appearance add depth to every bite, making them increasingly popular with chefs and food lovers alike.
A small handful is enough to transform an ordinary sandwich into something memorable.
