Smoked Salmon Salad (Nicoise-Style) image

I am very lucky. I love fresh & smoked salmon, but never have to use the canned variety & even have a salmon cookbook. This recipe is the 1st of 2 I found at justsmokedsalmon.com & they acknowledged Marilou Robinson of Portland, OR. Her intro said "The ingredient list looks long, but none of it takes much time to prepare & it can all be done ahead of time. Because this salad needs to be made ahead & chilled, it is a good choice for a Sun night supper. When guests arrive, heat an assortment of fancy rolls from your favourite bakery & relax w/your company. Everyone will be impressed & well-fed. The recipe can easily serve as many as you like by just increasing the amt of ingredients & using a larger platter." Enjoy! (Time has been estimated & does not include time for beans, eggs & potatoes to cool after they are cooked)

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, so I omitted them from my salad. It was still delicious! The crispy potatoes and tender green beans were the perfect complement to the smoked salmon. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The smokiness of the salmon pairs perfectly with the briny olives and capers, while the boiled potatoes and green beans add a hearty touch. The dressing is light and tangy, bringing all the el
