Cucumber, smoked salmon and avocado stacks

Ingredients

serves 4
  • 1 cucumber, deseeded and finely chopped
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp dill, chopped
  • 2 avocados, chopped
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp chives, chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tbsp capers, rinsed
  • 200g smoked salmon
  • 1 tbsp coriander, chopped
  • Fine sea salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Toss the cucumber with 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, and 1 tbsp dill.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently fold the avocado with half of the lemon juice, 1 tbsp chives and season.
  3. To make the dressing, whisk 2 tbsp olive oil, tomatoes, capers, the remaining lemon juice and the zest with some seasoning.
  4. Spoon ¼ of the cucumber mix onto a plate in a metal ring approximately 8cm, and fill in the circle, making a layer of cucumber. Top with ¼ of the avocado mix, and spread evenly to the sides of the ring. Add a layer of smoked salmon, covering all the avocado, then lift off the ring to leave a three tiered stack. Repeat with the remaining mix on 3 more plates. Spoon over the dressing and add the coriander to serve.
