Instructions

For the dressing

Measure out the oil, make sure you are NOT using an extra virgin, virgin or cold pressed oil or the dressing will taste bitter
Place parsley and garlic into the mixer and chop 3 seconds / speed 7 / mc on
Without scraping down, place yolks, vinegar and salt in the mixer
Start the mixer to speed 4 and slowly pour the oil onto the lid, allowing it to drip in and emulsify with the yolks
Stop the machine once all oil is incorporated
Add lemon juice, tomato paste, cornichons, capers and tabasco if using, mix 10 seconds / speed 4 / mc on
Set aside in the fridge for serving later

For the salad

On a large, round platter, place the lettuce leaves in a wreath shape
If using fresh dill, roughly chop it, then sprinkle the fresh or dried dill onto the smoked salmon
Cut the smoked salmon into thin long strips and wrap then around to look like small flowers, position around the wreath on top of the lettuce
Peel the cucumber in strips using a vegetable peeler and curl up the strips again to mimic a flower shape, position around the wreath on top of the lettuce
Position the cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce, spaced out evenly
Break the danish feta into pieces by hand and space around the wreath on top of the lettuce
Finely chop the chives and very finely slice the shallot, spread around the wreath on top of other ingredients
Sprinkle capers and micro greens on top to finish off the sald, if using avocado, only add right before serving, you can dice or slice the avocado
Serve with the dressing in the middle
