- 4.In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced potatoes, watercress, sliced radishes, and spring onions together.
- 5.Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- 6.Arrange the salad on plates and top with slices of smoked salmon. If desired, dot with small knobs of Jersey butter.
- 7.Serve immediately or chilled.

Chef's Tips
For a more intense flavour, add a clove of crushed garlic to the vinaigrette.
You can substitute the smoked salmon with grilled halloumi for a vegetarian option.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the watercress can wilt if left too long.
Garnish with fresh dill or chives for added flavour and visual appeal.
