The beauty of this salad is that all of the ingredients can be randomly arranged onto your plates just before serving. Flake the smoked trout into smaller pieces and place among the pea tops, avocado, spring onion and cucumber. Scatter over the toasted almonds.
To make the dressing, simply mix together the horseradish, creme fraiche, lemon juice and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spoon over the top of the salad when serving, or serve separately.
Chef's Tips
Most supermarkets now sell bags of prepared pea tops but if they are unavailable, watercress or rocket leaves are a good substitute.
