Hot smoked salmon salad

This hot smoked salmon salad is very quick and easy to assemble. 

So simple yet so tasty. 

The zesty yoghurt dressing is perhaps our favourite component. If you are looking for a simple, low calorie potato salad recipe, this dressing is a must. 

We bought chilli flavoured hot smoked salmon today. Alternatively you could use smoked trout, as we have done in the past. 

The potatoes work well warm or cold, so why not make a large batch of potato salad? A great lunchbox idea too. Here's the recipe:

HOT SMOKED SALMON SALAD

Ingredients (serves 2)

300g new potatoes

160g hot smoked salmon

watercress 

pickled cucumber to garnish (gherkins, cornichons etc)

4 spring onions (or half a diced red onion)
small amount of oil for the watercress

Yoghurt dressing

1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt

2 teaspoons lemon juice

zest of half a lemon

1 teaspoon horseradish (add more if you like)

2 teaspoons olive oil

a little milk to loosen the dressing if necessary

Salt/pepper

****

Boil the new potatoes for 15-20 minutes and allow them to cool enough to handle. 

While the potatoes are cooling, mix together the yoghurt dressing.

Dress the watercress with a small amount of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

While you make the yoghurt dressing the watercress will wilt slightly - which is what we wanted.

Pour dressing over potatoes and stir.

Mix in the chopped spring onion.

Flake in the smoked salmon and a few sprigs of watercress.

Turn out onto a plate, add the pickled cucumber and serve with the remaining watercress.
