Preparation

使醋

In a small bowl, combine the oil, olives, vinegar, garlic, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes (if using). Whisk to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Make the salad

Put the potatoes in a 4-quart saucepan, cover with 2 quarts water, add 1 Tbs. salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer gently until the potatoes are just tender when poked with a skewer, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a large bowl (save the cooking liquid).
Whisk the vinaigrette to recombine, drizzle 2 Tbs. of it over the potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss well. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.
Bring the water in the saucepan back to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice water. Drop the green beans into the boiling water and cook until bright green and no longer raw but still very crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain the beans in a colander and plunge them into the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and spread the beans on a clean dishtowel to dry.
When the potatoes have cooled, add the green beans, tomatoes, onion, fennel, and all but 3 Tbs. of the vinaigrette and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the arugula and toss gently. Transfer to a platter and top with the salmon. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.

Serve the salad with some toastygrilled flatbreadson the side.

This is my favorite salmon salad! I roasted the green beans and baby potatoes with olive oil and salt and pepper @ 450 degrees for 20 minutes (turn half way through) and they were awesome!

Made this for a luncheon grilling the salmon the previous day. It was a huge hit. Served with the zucchini goat cheese tart and a watermelon, feta and oregano salad.

This is one of the excellent dish Ive ever made. Not only for its flavor, that is so yummy. I also enjoyed making it and excited to finish the dish and see what will it look like , and it turned out almost like in the image and it didnt upset me . The dish only is mouth watering and when I actually taste it. And mmmmmmm!! Very luscious ! That you would want to make repeatedly. As well as Crock Pot Barbecue Ribs and , Almond Galette with Red Fruits that I discovered athttp://www.gourmetrecipe.com. You can browse the site and find unique recipes. Have a good time!!
