Ingredients:

For the salad:
1 lb. Baby potatoes, cut in half
6 Large Eggs
2 Pieces Salmon fillets (8oz)
1 tsp. Olive oil
1 lb. Green beans, tipped
6 cup Mixed greens
1 cup Cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/4 cup Pitted Kalamata olives
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the dressing:
1 Large Shallot, chopped
1/4 cup Olive oil
3 tbsp. White wine vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

Step 2

In a large pot of boiling water, cook the potatoes until they are just tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, in another pot, boil the eggs until they are cooked to your liking. Once they are cooked, run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 4

Peel and quarter the eggs. Set them aside.

Step 5

Meanwhile, brush the top of the salmon with some oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake the salmon until it is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the water and set them aside.

Step 7

Cook the green beans in the same water until they are bright green and tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Once cooked, remove them from the water and set them aside.

Step 8

To make the salad dressing, in a small food processor or blender, add the shallot, olive oil, white wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend until the salad dressing is smooth.

Step 9

To assemble the salad, arrange the mixed greens on a serving dish. Top them with green beans, potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, and olives. Flake the salmon using a fork and arrange the salmon pieces on top of the salad.

Step 10

Serve immediately topped with the vinaigrette.
