Mayonnaise, 200 g

Egg, 1 Mild olive oil, 150 ml Salt Lemon juice, a few drops

Step 1

Chop all the ingredients for the vinaigrette very finely and mix. We will have to chop in equal parts red bell pepper, green bell pepper and spring onion and dress with a few drops of vinegar and generous oil.

Step 2

Chop the lettuce into julienne strips as finely as possible and also chop the different smoked products.

Step 3

Make the mayonnaise by emulsifying the egg and olive oil with a blender. When ready, add the salt and lemon juice and stir well. This smoked salad has the peculiarity of being very mellow so the mayonnaise is crucial.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients until you get a creamy salad and add salt.

Step 5

Place on toasted brioche or a slice of toasted bread and finish with chopped hard-boiled egg on top.

Tips and suggestions

You can use any type of toasted bread, but the sweet touch of the brioche with the salty touch of the smoked fish goes very well. Similarly, the combination of fish is as wide as your imagination but the important thing is that they are smoked or salted, we could also include a little grated mojama or any fish cured at home.

Hevia is a very small restaurant on Serrano street in Madrid, there coexists that atmosphere a little “old” with classic recipes very well executed and other dishes of more modern cut that integrate seamlessly. Among the tigers, croquettes and oxtail are this smoked salad, a delicious avocado salad or unmissable dishes such as pickled tuna. For dessert, the tocinillo de cielo is a must.
