Salmon and Chervil Salad ... perfect for lunch.

Today I've brought with me to work a lunch of salmon and fresh herbs:

50 g smoked salmon
A large handful of chervil sprigs
A few mixed salad leaves, torn up
Some slices of cucumber
1 spring onion (or slices of red onion if you prefer)
1 tbspn capers

For the dressing: 1 tspn EVOO, 1 tspn grain mustard, healthy squeeze of lemon juice

I've bought some sourdough rolls from St Honore Bakery (close to my office); a grainy bread such as a German rye or pumpernickel is also nice to munch on.

Serve the salad chilled with a glass of San Pelligrino and lemon - lunch al desko has never been so good!
