Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces baby potatoes, halved (quartered, if large)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup cornichons, sliced lengthwise, plus 2 tablespoons pickling liquid
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Pinch of sugar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced, plus 1/4 cup chopped fronds
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 head butter lettuce (8 ounces), leaves separated
4 hard-cooked eggs, halved

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together pickling liquid, mustard, and sugar. Whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir in fennel fronds. Transfer potatoes to a bowl with a slotted spoon, and toss with 2 tablespoons dressing.
  • Return water to a boil; add shrimp. Remove from heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to an ice-water bath until cool. Drain well. Toss lettuce and sliced fennel with 2 tablespoons dressing; arrange on a platter. Top with potatoes, shrimp, cornichons, and eggs. Drizzle with remaining dressing; serve.

I found this salad to be a bit too heavy on the mayonnaise. I would use less mayonnaise next time.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would add some more seasoning.
