Yield Serves 6 as a side dish or 4 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 8

250g Jersey Royal potato scrubbed, then halved or quartered
140g fine green beans , trimmed
85g garden radishes , trimmed and sliced
large bunch (about 150g) watercress
1 plump garlic clove
2 anchovy fillets
75ml extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in salted water for 8-10 mins until just tender, then drain and leave to cool. Prepare a bowl of iced water. In a separate pan, boil the beans for 3-4 mins until just cooked with a slight crunch. Drain, refresh in the iced water, then drain again. Keep all the salad ingredients separate until ready to serve.
  • To make the dressing, use a mortar and pestle to crush the garlic with a tiny pinch of salt. Mash the anchovies into the garlic, then stir in the olive oil and red wine vinegar.
  • When ready to serve, toss all the salad ingredients together with half the dressing, then serve the rest of the dressing separately for drizzling over.
