Salmon, Watercress, Fennel and Baby Beetroot Salad With Lemony Arënkha Msc Dressing

About

Pretty as a picture, this summery salmon salad works as well as a starter as it does a main course, and is ideal, too, as part of a buffet. The lemony Arënkha MSC dressing can easily be made ahead of time and kept in a screw-top jar in the fridge for a few days.
