Ingredients
- 400g small new potatoes
- 100g green beans
- 12 quail eggs
- 2 packs hot-smoked salmon , you want about 350g in total
- 5 spring onions , trimmed
- 2 avocados
- 2 x 100g bags watercress
- 1 head of chicory , broken into leaves
- 1 pot mustard cress, trimmed
- 1 heaped tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 heaped tsp clear honey
- 3 tbsp cider vinegar
- 8 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- To make the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl with some seasoning or place them in a screwcap jar and shake well. Can be made up to 2 days in advance. Cook the potatoes in plenty of boiling water for 10 mins until just tender. Drain, cool slightly, then slice.
- While the potatoes are cooking, blanch the green beans in plenty of boiling water for 4 mins until cooked but still with a slight crunch, drain, refresh in iced water to stop them cooking further, then drain again. Cook the quail’s eggs for 3 mins. Drain, place under cold water, then peel and halve. Flake the salmon into large chunks into a bowl and slice the spring onions. All these jobs can be done in advance. Just before serving, halve, peel and slice the avocados.
- This is a layered salad rather than a tossed salad, so start by scattering the watercress and chicory over a platter. Scatter different handfuls at a time of all the other ingredients (but not the mustard cress) so that they are evenly distributed. Drizzle over two-thirds of the dressing, then strew over the mustard cress. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side.
