Method

  1. Tip the potatoes into a medium saucepan, cover with water and set over a high heat. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 15-18 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

  2. Drain and return to the pan, then add the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper and toss until coated in the dressing. Set aside to absorb the dressing while you prepare the rest.

  3. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the asparagus and simmer for 2-3 minutes until just tender, then add the peas and return to the boil.

  4. Drain and toss with the warm potatoes.

  5. Whisk the mayonnaise and 4-6 tbsp warm water together, then add the chives and season with a little black pepper.

  6. Decant some potatoes into a serving bowl and then layer up with the cucumber, spring onions, peppers, rocket and a drizzle of dressing, then repeat with the layers until all the ingredients are used.

  7. Serve straightaway warm, or allow to cool.
