Ingredients

  • 300 g new potatoes
  • 6 eggs
  • 150 g green beans, trimmed
  • ½ bunch broccolini, trimmed
  • ½ bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 roast chicken
  • 150 g smoked salmon
  • 80 g mixed salad leaves
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 1 cup mixed cherry tomatoes
  • Japanese mayonnaise, to serve
  • 1 wedge red Leicester cheese, to serve
Herb vinaigrette
  • ½ cup (125 ml) olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp (20 ml) fish sauce
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 good pinch of sugar
  • salt
  • 1 tbsp each finely chopped parsley, dill and chives (or other herbs to taste)

Instructions

  1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain. Add the eggs to the pan and boil for 8 minutes, then transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool, then peel.
  2. Place the green beans, broccolini and asparagus in a heatproof tray and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 1-2 minutes, then remove the asparagus and beans. Allow the broccolini sit in for a little longer to cook through. When cooked, drain the broccolini, season with salt and drizzle with olive oil.
  3. For the vinaigrette, whisk the ingredients together in a medium bowl until well combined.
  4. Slice the potatoes into rounds and the eggs in half. Joint the chicken.
  5. Take a large platter and arrange all the ingredients in piles on it. Serve with a wedge of Red Leicester and the vinaigrette on the side.
