SMOKED SALMON & WATERCRESS SALAD WITH RED ONION-CAPER VINAIGRETTE



Smoked Salmon & Watercress Salad With Red Onion-Caper Vinaigrette image

Start with a salad of smoked salmon and watercress. Try to buy the commercial bagged watercress that already has been cleaned to speed things along, or you may substitute other mixed salad greens. (I like to make sure there are some bitter ones, such as radicchio and arugula, along with milder greens, such as butter lettuce or baby spinach.) Also, because this is such a simple salad, all the ingredients should be top-quality. So spring for the best smoked salmon you can find.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup drained capers
½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups watercress (preferably the kind that's already trimmed, rinsed, bagged)
6 ounces smoked salmon, torn or cut into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Mix lemon juice, vinegar, mustard and a big pinch of salt and pepper to taste in a 1-quart Pyrex measuring cup. Add capers and onion; toss to coat. Slowly add oil, pushing onion aside and beating with a small whisk or fork to form a thick dressing.

ROASTED BEET, RED ONION, & GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH HONEY-OREGANO VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Beet, Red Onion, & Goat Cheese Salad with Honey-Oregano Vinaigrette image

Deep, dark, ruby roasted beets soaked in honey-dijon oregano vinaigrette top a medley of spring greens. Add creamy, tangy goat cheese and a sprinkling of icy red onions, and that's all it takes to achieve salad nirvana.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound beets (ends trimmed)
1/4 red onion (very thinly sliced)
8 cups spring greens and/or baby spinach (I like a mixture of romaine and oak leaf lettuces along with baby spinach)
4 ounces goat cheese (sliced into four coins)
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh chopped oregano
Salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Scrub the beets with a vegetable brush and wrap each one in foil. Place on a cookie sheet to catch the juices and roast in the oven for about 50 minutes until tender.
  • Unwrap the beets and place them in a medium bowl. Cut into 1-inch pieces right in the bowl, touching the beets minimally as they'll stain your fingers and everything else (which is why it's easiest to cut them right in the bowl instead of on a cutting board).
  • Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and chopped fresh oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour half the vinaigrette over the beets and gently toss. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Swish red onion in a bowl of cold water and rinse to remove any bitterness. Add more water and a few cubes of ice. Refrigerate for an hour or so.
  • Toss greens in remaining vinaigrette and divide between four separate places. Top with beets and add a coin of goat cheese. Sprinkle with red onion and top with a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper and a few extra bits of fresh oregano, if you have it.

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head iceberg lettuce, torn
1 package baby spinach leaves
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
10 white mushrooms, sliced
1/2 lb grated swiss cheese
1/2-1 lb cooked crumbled bacon (to taste)

Tips:

  • For a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced onions in cold water for 15 minutes before adding them to the salad.
  • Use a variety of lettuces and greens to add texture and flavor to the salad. Arugula, spinach, romaine, and kale are all great options.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried herbs, such as oregano, thyme, or basil.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the salad, such as diced tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, dress it just before serving to prevent the lettuce from wilting.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and healthy salad on the table in minutes.
