4 small bouquets of assorted lettuce
50g sliced cucumber
40ml olive oil
20ml white wine vinegar

Mix the cream cheese & lemon juice together, season to taste
with salt & pepper. Use a 6cm diameter cylindrical pastry
cutter for a mould. Layer the smoked salmon & cream cheese
to form a tower about 6cm high.

Whisk the olive oil, white wine vinegar & whole grain mustard
together.
Final presentation
Slide a palette knife underneath the salmon mould & transfer
carefully to the middle of the plate. Slowly remove the palette
knife & pastry cutter. Top the tower with small bouquets
