My Ivy Chopped Salad
- Salad
- 2 large beets
- 3 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/3-inch-thick slices
- 2 fresh ears corn, shucked
- 1 bunch scallion, white and light green parts only
- 2 wild salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- coarse salt
- 2 heads butter lettuce, leaves separated, cut into thick strips
- 1/2 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, roughly torn
- 1 lime, quartered
- Dressing
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons light agave nectar (or honey)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- coarse salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- Make the Dressing: Whisk vinegar with agave nectar and lime juice in a bowl. Slowly whisk in oil; add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare Salad: Steam or boil beets until cooked through, about 30 minutes. Let cool; peel and cut into a medium dice.
- While beets are cooking prepare the rest of the ingredients. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-low heat. Rub zucchini, corn, scallions and salmon with oil; sprinkle with salt. Grill vegetables and fish until browned and cooked through flip once, about 20 minutes.
- Cut zucchini and scallions into a medium dice. Cut corn off the cob. Break salmon into large pieces.
- Toss grilled vegetables with lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro and basil; place on a large platter and top with salmon. Drizzle with vinaigrette; serve with lime quarters.
