Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 300 g green beans, trimmed
  • 700 g firm-cooking potatoes, scrubbed (I like Bamberger Hörnchen or new potatoes)
  • 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 6 radishes, halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, diced
  • 200 g surimi, cut into 2cm pieces (see notes)
  • generous handful fresh basil, slivered

For the dressing:

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt plus more to taste
  • freshly ground pepper , to taste

Method

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, lemon juice, vinegar and mustard; then whisk in oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Add potatoes to a pot of cold water. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander. Peel while warm, slice and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and toss to coat (the potatoes will soak up some of the flavours of the dressing if still warm).

    Note: if using thin-skinned new potatoes, feel free to leave the skin on.

  3. Meanwhile, bring a second pot of water to a boil. Add beans and cook until barely tender and bright green, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer immediately to a large bowl of ice water to cool. Drain, pat dry and cut in half.
  4. Add the green beans, celery, radishes, green onion, surimi and basil to the bowl with the potatoes and dressing. Toss until well combined.
  5. Adjust seasoning as desired, serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • If you can pick up surimi fresh from your fish monger, I definitely recommend it, as it I think it’s superior in taste. Otherwise, look for it in larger, well-stocked supermarkets along with other packaged fish products. Otherwise, feel free to skip it and add a little sweet corn or steamed green asparagus.
