Description

This salad is a celebration of textures and tastes, offering a symphony of flavors in every bite. Imagine crisp, vibrant green beans mingling with flakes of succulent salmon. The slight saltiness of capers dances on your tongue, while creamy, perfectly cooked eggs add richness and depth.

All of these elements rest upon a bed of fresh, leafy greens, creating a visually appealing and nourishing dish. The magic of this salad lies in its harmonious blend of contrasting elements. The gentle sweetness of the salmon is beautifully balanced by the slight bitterness of the greens and the pungent pop of the capers.

The creamy eggs provide a comforting counterpoint to the crisp green beans, creating a satisfying mouthfeel that is both interesting and enjoyable. Beyond its delightful taste and texture, this salad is also incredibly versatile. It can be served as a light yet satisfying lunch, a flavorful side dish, or even a complete and elegant dinner.

For an extra touch of freshness, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped herbs like parsley or dill. A squeeze of lemon juice can also brighten the flavors and add a touch of acidity. To prepare this salad, each component is treated with care to ensure optimal flavor and texture.

The green beans are blanched to a vibrant green and retain a satisfying crispness. The salmon is cooked to flaky perfection, seasoned simply to allow its natural flavor to shine. The eggs are boiled to a creamy yolk, providing a luxurious element to the salad.

Assembling the salad is a breeze, especially if you prepare the individual components ahead of time. Simply toss the greens with a light vinaigrette, then arrange the green beans, salmon, eggs, and capers artfully on top. The result is a visually stunning and incredibly delicious salad that is sure to impress.

Enjoy this vibrant and nourishing dish as a testament to the beauty of simple, fresh ingredients.

Instructions

    1.
    Wash the lettuce thoroughly until clean. Microwave the green beans in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 inch of water for 30 seconds, ensuring they are cooked but still crispy.
    2.
    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Sprinkle the salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, distributing it evenly. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is medium-rare.
    3.
    In a small bowl, mix the anchovies, salt, and Dijon mustard together to form a paste. Then, add the lemon juice and olive oil. Whisk vigorously to emulsify all the ingredients until well combined.
    4.
    In two quart-sized mason jars or bowls, layer the ingredients in the following order: lettuce, green beans, salmon, olives, capers, hard-boiled eggs (halved), and top with more greens. Keep the dressing separate until serving. Pour the Dijon vinaigrette over the salad just before eating.
