Ingredients

3/4 pound chunked (not thin sliced), Alaska-style smoked salmon
1 cup bottled champagne salad dressing
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 ounces pickled green beans, cut in thirds
1 1/2 pounds new potatoes, red or yellow, scrubbed

Directions

1

Break the salmon into large but still bite-sized chunks and set aside.
2

Boil the new potatoes for about 15 minutes in salted water, till they are just cooked through (you can run a sharp knife through one) but not falling apart.
3

Drain completely, and then cut into bite-sized chunks. Place in a large bowl and pour half of the dressing over them.
4

Add the egg wedges, beans, olives, tomatoes and salmon chunks. Drizzle vinaigrette to taste, then salt and pepper as desired. Gently stir together and serve warm.
