SMOKED SALMON & WATERCRESS SALAD WITH RED ONION-CAPER VINAIGRETTE
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.

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.

ZUCCHINI GRILLED WITH RED ONION WITH LEMON-BASIL VINAIGRETTE RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by lesliejanous
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND RED ONION WITH LEMON-BASIL VINAIGRETTE The vegetables can be served hot, warm, or at room temperature. After about five minutes, faint grill marks should begin to appear on the undersides of the vegetables; if necessary, adjust their position on the grill or adjust the heat level. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Thread onion rounds, from side to side, onto 2 metal skewers. Brush onion and zucchini evenly with ¼ cup olive oil and season with 2 teaspoons kosher salt (or 1 teaspoon table salt) and pepper to taste. 2. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, mustard, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt (or ¼ teaspoon table salt) together in small bowl; set aside. 3. Grill vegetables over medium heat, turning once, until tender and caramelized, 18 to 22 minutes (move vegetables as needed to ensure even cooking). Transfer vegetables to platter; remove skewers from onion and discard any charred outer rings. Rewhisk vinaigrette and pour over vegetables. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
Tips:
- Use the best quality red onions you can find. Organic is always a good choice.
- Slice the onions thinly and evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. This will prevent them from caramelizing properly.
- Cook the onions over low heat and stir them frequently. This will help them to caramelize slowly and evenly.
- Add a little bit of sugar or honey to the onions as they are cooking. This will help them to caramelize and add a touch of sweetness.
- Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly.
- Whisk together the vinegar, oil, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the caramelized onions and toss to coat.
- Serve the red onion vinaigrette immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.
