For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine sherry vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic; stir vigorously. Whisk in olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until fully blended. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
2

Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the green beans and boil until the beans are bright green and tender-crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
3

Strain out the green beans and transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain and place them in a large bowl.
4

Drain the potatoes, let cool slightly, slice them in half, and add to the bowl with the green beans. Add the bell pepper and drizzle the vinaigrette on top; toss until the vegetables are well coated.
5

Line a serving plate with lettuce leaves and arrange the prepared potatoes, green beans, and pepper strips on top. Evenly scatter the olive halves around the salad.
6

Lightly toss the sliced cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt; arrange them around the plate. Place the salmon on top of the salad. Slice the egg in half, and place one half of the egg on each side of the plate. Serve.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
