Categories     Salad     Potato     Side     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Bon Appétit     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
1 large shallot, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
12 medium red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled (about 2 3/4 pounds)
Additional olive oil
2 bunches watercress, stems trimmed
3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine vinegar, shallot, and mustard in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Mix in cheese. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender, about 16 minutes. Drain; cool completely. Cut potatoes into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Brush rounds on both sides with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Arrange watercress on platter. Grill potatoes until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Mound warm potatoes atop watercress; sprinkle with green onions. Spoon vinaigrette over potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or red onions are best for this salad, as they have a good balance of sweetness and sharpness.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: Give the onions plenty of space so that they can caramelize properly.
  • Cook the onions over medium heat: This will prevent them from burning.
  • Keep an eye on the onions: They can go from perfectly caramelized to burnt very quickly.
  • Let the onions cool slightly before serving: This will make them easier to handle and will also allow the flavors to develop further.

Conclusion:

Grilled onion salad with sherry vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The sweet and smoky flavors of the grilled onions are perfectly complemented by the tangy vinaigrette. This salad is also a great way to use up leftover grilled onions. So next time you're grilling, be sure to throw some onions on the grill and make this delicious salad.
