Cancer Fighting Food: Smoked Salmon Salad Nicoise'

Ingredients:
8 oz. small red potatoes, scrubbed & halved
6 oz. green beans, preferably thin haricots verts
2 Tbl reduced-fat mayo
1 Tbl white-wine vinegar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
6 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 small cucumber, thinly sliced
12 small cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
4 oz smoked salmon, cut into 1 inch pieces

Preparation:
1. Place a large bowl of ice water next to stove. Bring 1 inch water to a boil in a large saucepan. Place potatoes in a steamer basket over the boiling water, cover and steam until tender, 10-15 minutes. Transfer potatoes to ice water. Add green beans to the steamer, cover and steam until tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Transfer to ice water. Transfer potatoes and beans to a towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
2. Meanwhile, whisk mayo, vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, dill and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and green beans, salad greens, cucumber and tomatoes; toss gently to coat.
3. Divide the salad and smoked salmon between 2 plates.

Mmmm...good. Can be served in smaller portions for a starter. Or served as a meal.
