This twist on a classic salade Nicoise uses smoked salmon in place of tuna and adds extra vegetables in place of hard-boiled eggs and olives. Lovely served as an untraditional brunch, special weekend lunch or light supper.
Ingredients
8
ounces
small red potatoes, scrubbed and halved
6
ounces
green beans, preferably thin haricots verts, trimmed and halved
2
tablespoons
reduced-fat mayonnaise
1
tablespoon
white-wine vinegar
1
teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce
1/4
teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
6
cups
mixed salad greens
1/2
small cucumber, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
12
small cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
4
ounces
smoked salmon, cut into 2-inch pieces
Directions
1.
Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place potatoes in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover and steam until tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes with a
slotted spoon to the ice water. Add green beans to the steamer, cover and steam until tender-crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the green beans with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Transfer the potatoes and beans to a towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
2.
Meanwhile, whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice,
Worcestershire sauce, mustard, dill and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and green beans, salad greens, cucumber and tomatoes; toss gently to coat.
Tip:
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Store the potatoes and beans (Step 1) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
