How this is calculated
Target amount = ingredient amount × target servings ÷ base servings. The result is then rounded for kitchen use: from 100 g or ml to the nearest 5, between 1 and 99 to the nearest 1, pieces and spoons to half units, amounts below one unit to quarters, thirds or halves. Teaspoons and tablespoons also go down to an eighth, kilograms and litres stay finer.
Total = value per serving × target servings. The value per serving is unchanged, because ingredient amount and serving count change by the same factor.

- European Commission, Guidance document for competent authorities for the control of compliance with EU food law, setting of tolerances for nutrient values declared on a label, December 2012.
Nutrition values are estimates from the recipe record, not laboratory results. Even for checked labels the EU sets tolerances: for fat, protein and carbohydrates 20 percent in the range of 10 to 40 g per 100 g, and 2 g per 100 g below that. Home cooking varies more, because variety, size and cooking loss of the ingredients differ. Kitchen rounding also shifts the total slightly against the plain rule of three. Anyone who has to keep amounts exact for medical reasons, for example during a nutrition therapy prescribed by a doctor, should discuss them with a doctor or a registered dietitian.

Instructions
- Wash the baby spinach and spin it dry, then arrange it as a bed on two plates.
- Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes. Cut the hot-smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Peel the mango, slice the flesh away from the stone and cut into cubes.
- Arrange the tomatoes, salmon and mango cubes over the spinach.
- For the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice and mustard until well combined, then season with salt and pepper. If you prefer a milder dressing, stir in the half teaspoon of honey.
- Spoon the dressing evenly over the salad and serve straight away.

Frequently asked questions
What is hot-smoked salmon?
Hot-smoked salmon (German 'Stremellachs') is smoked over heat until it flakes into tender strips. It has a firmer texture and a more intense smoky flavour than classic cold-smoked salmon.
Can I use regular smoked salmon instead?
Yes, regular cold-smoked salmon works well as a substitute. It has a softer texture and a slightly milder flavour.
How can I tell if a mango is ripe?
A ripe mango gives slightly at the stem end when you press gently and has a pleasantly sweet aroma.
Is this recipe suitable for a low-carb way of eating?
Thanks to the salmon, spinach and olive oil dressing, this salad fits nicely into a low-carb approach. The mango adds natural fruit sugars, so if you'd like fewer carbs you can simply use a little less.
