A vibrant, satisfying meal salad that’s full of texture and flavor—from roasted sweet potatoes to juicy tomatoes and creamy avocado, all topped with perfectly grilled salmon and a zesty mustard herb vinaigrette.
For the Salad:
6 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ¾-inch cubes
6 heads romaine lettuce, chopped into ribbons
8 pre-cooked beets, sliced or quartered
2 cups heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
4 avocados, diced
2 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
For the Grilled Salmon:
3 lbs salmon, cut into equal fillets
Kosher salt & freshly cracked black pepper
For the Mustard Herb Vinaigrette:
4 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 shallots, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons dried oregano
4 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup red wine vinegar
1 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
Roast sweet potatoes at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway, until tender and golden.
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Grill over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side or until cooked through and lightly charred.
In a blender or jar, combine all vinaigrette ingredients and blend/shake until smooth.
Assemble salad: Layer romaine, beets, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, chickpeas, and avocado in a large bowl or platter. Top with grilled salmon.
Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve warm or chilled.
