Directions
| Step 1 | Boil the British Gems Baby New Potatoes for 12 to 15 minutes until just soft. Add the green beans and the peas for the last 2 minutes if using frozen, or for the last 5 minutes if using fresh. Drain them well and set to one side. |
| Step 2 | Make the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together, season to taste with the salt and pepper, and set to one side. |
| Step 3 | Fry or grill the bacon until very crispy - drain it and once it is cool, cut it into bite sized pieces, or crumble it. |
| Step 4 | Arrange the salad leaves in a large serving bowl or on a platter, and then add the cooked and drained potatoes, green beans and peas; scatter the crispy bacon and cherry tomatoes over the top, before pouring the dressing over the salad. |
| Step 5 | Serve as a light luncheon dish, at only 6 Smart Points on the Weight Watchers diet per serving, or with crusty bread and chilled white wine for a non-diet meal! |
