Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD
2 tbsp olive oil
1 package of fingerling potatoes, sliced in half
A hefty pinch of kosher salt and black pepper
Steak Seasoning, to taste
1 bunch fresh asparagus, ends snapped off
2 large pink grapefruits
2 medium oranges
1 lb of raw shrimp (optional), peeled and deveined with tails on
A handful of fresh arugula
1 bunch of fresh dill
2–3 radishes, sliced
FOR THE VINAIGRETTE
Juice of 1 lemon, about 2 tbsp
1 tsp Dijon mustard
a splash of champagne vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
A pinch of sugar or sugar substitute
1 tsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice the larger potatoes lengthwise and the purple potatoes in half. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and seasoning, then toss together. Turn sliced potatoes “cut-side” down. Space potatoes evenly for optimal roasting. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
- While the potatoes are roasting, begin preparing the rest of the salad’s components.
- For the asparagus, snap one in half. Using your chef knife, slice the rest to match the length of the snapped spear. Then, one at a time, lay a spear onto the cutting board and carefully shave it into ribbons using a potato peeler. Set aside
- Segment the oranges and grapefruits, then set them aside.
- If you’re adding shrimp to the salad, toss it into a bowl with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then, sear the shrimp on both sides in a preheated cast-iron skillet until cooked through. Set aside.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
FOR THE VINAIGRETTE
- Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, champagne vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper, and dill to a small bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until emulsified. Set aside.
