Dish with Diane: Chef Franklin Becker's Market Salad
Ingredients
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 ounce white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 ounce lemon juice
  • 2 ounce extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling the onions
  • sea salt, to taste
  • fresh black pepper, to taste
  • 6 ounce heirloom tomatoes, different varieties, quartered
  • 3 ounce cantaloupe, ½-inch dice
  • 8 ounce baby arugula
  • 2 ounce piquillo peppers, seeded, julliened
  • 1 ounce kalamata olives, pitted
  • ¼ ounce mint leaves, picked
  • ¼ ounce parsley leaves, picked
Directions
  1. Peel the onion and slice it into four equal pieces width-wise. Toss the onion with some salt and a little olive oil. On a preheated grill, place the onion slices on aluminum foil and grill both sides until fully cooked but still together. Remove the onions from the grill and set them aside to cool.
  2. Make the dressing by mixing the honey, white balsamic vinegar, and lemon juice together. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set the dressing aside.
  3. To plate, toss the onions with all of the remaining ingredients together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Dress the salad (you might not need all the dressing) and serve.
