Instructions

1. Halve the lemon. Cut a few thin slices from one half and set them aside for garnish.
2. Pour 6 to 8 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a glass, then juice the lemon half into it through a strainer.
3. Chop half of the black olives finely and cut the other half into larger chunks.
4. In a large bowl, combine the baby spinach and rocket and drizzle generously with olive oil. Add the large olive chunks, capers, sliced cucumber and a pinch of fresh dill, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Mix the salad gently with your hands so everything is evenly coated, then shape it into a ball and place it on a flat plate as a mound.
6. Cover the salad completely with smoked salmon slices, starting at the base and working up to the top, overlapping each slice only slightly.
7. Drizzle the lemon and oil mixture over the salmon, add an extra squeeze of lemon juice, then scatter the chopped olives and dill on top.
