Fresh lemon juice

4½ tbsp(s)

Shallot(s)

1½ small, minced

Capers

2 tbsp(s), rinsed, drained

Extra virgin olive oil

1½ tbsp(s)

Water

1½ tbsp(s)

Dijon mustard

2 tsp(s)

Uncooked new potato(es)

Fresh tomatoes

Hard boiled egg(s)

2 large egg(s), peeled, sliced

Instructions

  1. To make dressing, put lemon juice, shallot, capers, oil, water and mustard in a blender container; puree and set aside.
  2. Put about 3-inches salted water in a large pot; bring to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes; reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, 7-10 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a bowl with a slotted spoon; toss with 1 Tbsp dressing and let cool.
  3. Fill a large bowl with ice water; set aside.
  4. Put green beans in same large pot; simmer until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to ice water with a slotted spoon; cool and then drain.
  5. Put salmon in a steamer basket; sprinkle with salt. Set steamer over simmering water; cover and steam fish until just opaque in center, 8-10 minutes.
  6. While salmon cooks, divide lettuce, potatoes, string beans, tomatoes, eggs and olives among 4 plates; top each with 2 oz salmon and drizzle each with about 2 1/2 Tbsp dressing.
