Main Ingredient

Ingredients

 1 lb/450 g new potatoes
 4 salmon steaks, about 4 oz/115 g each
 Avocado1
 Juice of 1/2 lemon
 Baby spinach leaves1 1/4 Cup (16 tbs)
 4 1/2 oz/125 g mixed small salad greens, including watercress
 Cherry tomatoes12 , halved
 Scant 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
 3 tbsp unsweetened clear apple juice
 Balsamic vinegar1 Teaspoon (For the dressing)
  black pepper1 (For the dressing)

Directions

1. Cut the new potatoes into bite-size pieces, put into a pan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until just tender Dram and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler to medium. Cook the salmon steaks under the preheated broiler for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steaks, turning halfway through cooking. Remove from the broiler and keep warm.
3. While the potatoes and salmon are cooking, cut the avocado in half, remove and discard the pit, and peel the flesh. Cut the avocado flesh into slices and coat in the lemon juice to prevent it discoloring.
4. Toss the spinach leaves and mixed salad greens together in a large serving bowl until combined. Arrange 6 cherry tomato halves on each plate of salad.
5. Remove and discard the skin and any bones from the salmon. Flake the salmon and divide between the plates along with the potatoes. Sprinkle the walnuts over the salads.
6. To make the dressing, mix the apple juice and vinegar together in a small bowl or pitcher and season well with pepper. Drizzle over the salads and serve at once.
