Smoked Salmon Sharing Platter with Watercress & Avocado

This simple recipe takes minutes to prepare but is still a real showstopper, perfect for an easy Christmas starter or for a great buffet dish.

Serves 6-8 as a starter

Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 side smoked salmon, D cut (sliced horizontally)
• 1 x 85g bag watercress
• 1 medium sized cucumber
• 100g radishes

For the dressing

• 2 tbsp crème fraiche
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• Salt to taste

Method

1. First make the dressing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and whisking together.  Set aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Next slice the cucumber in half lengthways and use a tea spoon to scoop out the seeds.  Thinly slice the cucumber so that you get nice crescent-shaped pieces.  Thinly slice the radish.
3. Take a large slate or board and place the side of salmon on top one slice at a time, folding each slice to give the whole dish some height.  Scatter over the watercress, cucumber and radish before drizzling with the dressing and serving to your guests.   Bon appétit!
