Smoked Salmon Cucumber and Fennel Tartine

Cucumber Fennel Radish Salad

• 1 Persian Cucumber
  
• 2-3 Radishes
  
• 1 Head of Fennel
  
• 1/4 cup Watercress
  
• 1/2 Lemon (Juice)
  
• Salt/Pepper to taste
  
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  
• 1 teaspoon Capers
  

Smoked Salmon Cucumber and Fennel Tartine

• 4 pieces Smoked Salmon
  
• 1 Slice of bread/1/2 bread roll/1/2 bagel (gluten/grain free)
  
• 2-3 tablespoons Cucumber Fennel Radish Salad
  

1. Using a mandolin or very sharp knife slice the cucumber, radishes and fennel into very thin slices (shaved). Place them in a bowl.
2. Trim the tops of the watercress and add it to the salad, making sure that you have cut it up a bit to make it easier to eat, otherwise you may get half the sandwich with a single bite.
3. Add freshly ground salt and pepper, the capers, dress with olive oil and squeeze the juice from 1/2 lemon over the salad.
4. Toss lightly and set aside while you assemble the tartine.
5. Slice the bagels, rolls or prepare your bread as desired. I use a gluten free roll made with tapioca (manioca) flour. Place a couple of tablespoons of salad onto the base. Lay a couple of slices of smoked salmon on top of each tartine. Snip a few sprigs of fennel fronds for decoration if you like and then plate!
