Calories 465kcal

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup very thinly sliced shallots
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
  • 6 cups torn, trimmed, fresh rainbow chard
  • 1 cup coarsely shredded yellow beet 1 large or 2 small beets
  • ¾ pound grilled, roasted or smoked skinless salmon, coarsely flaked
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup pistachio nuts or almonds, chopped and toasted
  • FOR THE DRESSING:
  • teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • teaspoons snipped fresh rosemary
  • 1/8 teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • In a small bowl combine sliced shallots, vinegar and salt. Toss to coat. Submerge shallot slices so they are covered with as much vinegar as possible. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour or chill up to 2 days ahead. Drain shallots; reserve vinegar mixture for dressing and pickled shallots for salad.
  • To assemble, arrange chard on a serving platter. Top with shredded beet, salmon, pickled shallots (drained from step 1), strawberries and pistachios.
  • For the dressing, in a small bowl whisk together 3 tablespoons of the drained vinegar mixture, Dijon mustard, rosemary and salt. Slowly pour oil into vinegar mixture, whisking constantly, until dressing is well combined. Drizzle dressing over salad to serve.
