Ingredients
- Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
- Beetroot: 250g pack cooked beetroot (not in vinegar), finely diced
- Dill: few snipped dill sprigs
- Rocket: 60g baby rocket salad
- White Wine Vinegar: 2 tsp white wine vinegar
- Smoked Salmon: 8 large slices smoked salmon
- Creme Fraiche: 200ml tub creme fraiche
- Toast: fingers of toast, to serve (optional)
- Honey: 1 tsp honey
- Horseradish: 3 tbsp hot horseradish sauce
- Chicory: 24 red chicory leaves
- Vodka: 1 tbsp vodka (optional)
Directions
- Fold the creme fraiche with the horseradish and vodka, if using, with a little seasoning. Chill.
- In a bowl, mix the vinegar, olive oil and honey. Toss half the dressing through the beetroot and chill until ready to serve.
- Before serving, divide the slices of salmon between 8 plates, then top with a spoonful of the creme fraiche and bring up the sides of the salmon to make a 'flower'. Arrange the salad and beetroot round the salmon, scatter with the dill. Grind over some black pepper, drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve with toast, if you like.
