Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Put the potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with boiling salted water. Boil until tender (about 15 - 20 minutes), drain and leave to cool a little.

Step 2

Place the beetroot, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium size bowl and massage everything together. Set aside to marinate.

Step 3

Make the dressing by combining spring onion, dijon mustard, juice and zest of half an orange, 80ml olive oil, 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, two-thirds of the dill and 1/2 tsp sugar in a bowl. Season to taste.

Step 4

Dress the potatoes whilst still warm with two-thirds of the dressing and arrange onto a serving platter. Next top with the mixed leaves, orange slices and pickled beetroot. Finally flake over the salmon, drizzle over remaining dressing, garnish with the rest of the dill and serve.
