Enjoy a refreshing and nutritious dish that combines the rich flavors of smoked salmon with the crisp texture of blanched French beans. It’s perfect for a light lunch or a vibrant appetizer.

Ingredients

200g smoked salmon, sliced
200g pre-cooked French green beans
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 avocado, diced
1 handful of cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbsp capers, drained
1 lemon, juiced
3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh dill for garnish

Directions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the French beans and cook for only 1-2 minutes until tender-crisp.
Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process, for a few minutes or until cooled.
Drain again and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
In a large bowl, assemble the salad with the French beans, red onion, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and capers.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Gently fold in the smoked salmon slices.
Transfer the salad to a serving platter, garnish with fresh dill, and serve immediately.
