French Vegetable Salad With Smoked Salmon

"A restaurant recipe I imitated at home. Simple, honest, delicious. The quantities are not of great importance -- I simply keep to the Zaar format. If you don't feel like cutting the veggies into julienne strips, do it simpler."

directions

  • Parboil the beans and carrots in a small pot in salted water for no longer than 1 - 2 minutes. Drain in a sieve under the cold-water tap, and pat dry.
  • Mix the cider vinegar, castor sugar and mustard in a small bowl. With a whisk, gradually beat in the olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt.
  • Put the lettuce leaves, torn up if too large, in a mixing bowl. Add the parboiled vegetables and the cucumber, and toss lightly.
  • Then toss with just enough dressing to coat the leaves lightly.
  • Divide among 4 plates. Top the salads with the salmon slices, each slice folded decoratively.
  • Sprinkle with the chopped spring onions and grind over coarse black pepper.
  • Add a lemon wedge to each plate. The leftover dressing can be passed around separately.

I'm a widow, retired, and I love cooking. I live on the coast in South Africa and I love seafood. You're welcome to my recipes (all kinds, definitely not just seafood!) Just remember that no recipe is ever cast in stone -- adjust to your taste! The photo was taken at a rustic seaside restaurant on our West Coast, approx 1 year ago (2016).
