Over the last few days we have been busy in the vegetable garden, sowing, planting and fencing (to keep pesky Peter Rabbit away from the vegetables, just hope it works), I noticed that finally we have enough rocket, sorrel , flat leaf parsley, early lettuce and salad burnet to have a green salad from the garden for lunch.
Supplemented by some left over jersey royal potatoes (which incidentally you can serve hot or cold, I like both ways ) and some hot smoked salmon (the best comes from DelishFish their honey roast is awesome), I quickly whipped up a light complementary dressing using about a tablespoon on EVOO ( extra virgin olive oil), a little lemon juice, a 1/2 tsp dijon mustard, a few drops of honey and some fresh or dried dill. Whisk it all up and taste for seasoning and balance. Oh and I snipped over some chives too.
There you have a great easy lunch, very healthy and tasty too !
This post fits perfectly with the brief for Herbs on Saturday a great blog campaign run by the lovely Karen at Lavender and Lovage and this month hosted by Anneli at Delicieux

How lovely and fresh and delicious this salad looks. Just the type of food I love to eat. Nothing beats a Jersey Royal too :) Thanks for entering Herbs On Saturday
The contrast of the pink fish against the lush green of the leaves looks so pretty.
I am about to embark on home smoking, having recently been given a stove top smoker. Your photo here has inspired me to start with a trout.
