Egg and Smoked Salmon Salad : Sunshine on a plate !



This Sainsburys inspired recipe is full of fresh produce and with a zesty Mediterranean twist, makes for a gorgeous summery salad, definitely sunshine on a plate !

Ingredients 
Serves Four
4 medium free-range eggs
500g asparagus
200g frozen broad beans
75g watercress
120g smoked salmon trimmings
20g parmesan, finely shaved
½ tbsp olive oil
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Method
1. Put the eggs in a pan of boiling water and cook for 7 minutes, for a just-set yolk. Drain and run under cold water to cool. Peel and cut in quarters.
2. Meanwhile, in another pan of boiling water, cook the asparagus for 2-3 minutes, adding the broad beans for the last 30 seconds. Drain and skin the broad beans.
3. On a serving platter, toss the asparagus and broad beans with the watercress and salmon. Top with the eggs and scatter over the parmesan. Whisk together the oil and lemon zest and juice, season with black pepper and drizzle over.

Con esta calor, se paetece mucho las ensaladas. Tendré en cuenta esta receta, ya que me encanta el salmón.

Espero que hayas pasado un buen día de domingo, descansando del trabajo.

When we're stuck for a light lunch we sometimes have a smoked salmon sandwich on thin white bread. Sheer indulgence but we like to live dangerously.
