    Spring Super Salad

    This simple salad is a beautiful combination of all the vibrant spring ingredients which happened to inspire Sarah Tuck as she wandered round her local grocer. 

    Serves: 4–6

    INGREDIENTS

    6 cups young watercress
    2 small fennel bulbs
    250g hot smoked salmon
    2 small oranges, peeled and segmented
    150g fresh mozzarella
    ½ cup toasted, skinned hazelnuts
    Dressing
    ¼ cup olive oil
    ¼ cup orange juice
    ¼ cup lemon juice
    sea salt to taste

    METHOD

    You don't really need instructions for this. Just trim the fennel bulbs and remove the outer layer then slice finely, ideally on a mandoline. 

    Then just layer the ingredients onto the plate and drizzle with infused oil or dressing. 

    Serves 6 for a light lunch or as an elegant spring entree.

    Optional extras that would work well with the salad include quinoa, broccoli sprouts, asparagus, blanched peas or broad beans.
