3 large potatoes, peel and dice into 1inch (2.5cm) pieces
5 small sprigs of thyme
1 head of radicchio, separate and halve the leaves
A good handful of baby spinach, washed and trimmed
6oz /180g smoked salmon, in small strips
1 lemon, thinly sliced
A bunch of dill
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
For the dressing:
125ml cream

1 tsp whole grain mustard
2 tsp honey
½ tsp chopped thyme
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/ fan 170°C/ fan 335°F/gas 5.
Heat a little oil in a roasting pan and add the potatoes and thyme. Roast for about 25 minutes or until golden tossing from time to time, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
To make the dressing, pour all the ingredients except for the parsley into a small saucepan over a low heat, stir until all the ingredients has dissolved, add the parsley and check the seasoning. Keep warm.
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the olive oil followed by the radicchio leaves and toss lightly for about a minute or so until slightly wilted. Add the spinach and wilt for a further minute. Transfer to serving plates and add the roast potatoes.
Spoon over some dressing and arrange the smoked salmon and lemon slices on top.
Garnish with sprigs of dill and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
Tip: Use steamed baby potatoes instead of the roasted ones or even add diced roasted sweet potatoes for a delicious change.
