Method

  1. To make the dressing, mix together the oil, vinegar and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  2. Preheat the grill to high. Place the salmon on a baking tray and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon begins to flake. Let the salmon cool, then flake into large pieces.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes and eggs in lightly salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes. Drain and run the eggs under cold water until cool. Shell the eggs, cut into pieces and set aside. In a separate saucepan, cook the green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Toss the salad leaves, flaked salmon, potatoes, eggs and green beans with the dressing and serve immediately.

Cook's tips

Olives are normally included in a Nicoise salad but omitted in this case to bring a fresh spring flavour to the dish.
