This is one of Gill’s birthday presents. It’s got a lot of good vegetarian recipes in it, including an updated homity pie.
warm potato and salmon salad with pesto
ingredients
650g new potatoes, halved lengthways if large
2 tablespoons pesto
4 tablespoons olive oil
8 cherry tomatoes
175g can salmon
200g sliced green beans or runner beans
couple of handfuls of spinach, baby or torn up
method
put the potates in a pan of boiling water and simmer until tender (8 - 10 minutes). I steam the green beans over the potatoes.
mix the pesto and olive oil to form a dressing
halve the tomatoes and mix with the drained and flaked salmon
drain the potatoes and green beans and tip into a salad bowl with the spinach (give it a stir)
scatter the tomato and salmon mixture over the top
season with salt and pepper
drizzle the pesto and oil mix over the top and gently toss everything together
notes
Lovely. Especially when made with vegetables fresh from the garden
