1
Parboil the beans and carrots in a small pot in salted water for no longer than 1 - 2 minutes. Drain in a sieve under the cold-water tap, and pat dry.

Mix the cider vinegar, castor sugar and mustard in a small bowl. With a whisk, gradually beat in the olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt.

Then toss with just enough dressing to coat the leaves lightly.

Divide among 4 plates. Top the salads with the salmon slices, each slice folded decoratively.
6
Sprinkle with the chopped spring onions and grind over coarse black pepper.
7
Add a lemon wedge to each plate. The leftover dressing can be passed around separately.
