Instructions
Assembling the Salad:
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Wash the potatoes and leave whole if very small or cut in half. Toss with enough olive oil to coat and sprinkle with salt. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until golden brown and tender inside. Cool.
- Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough part of the stems. Cut into 1-inch lengths, toss with olive oil to coat and sprinkle with salt. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast just until tender. Cool.
- In a large bowl, toss the asparagus, radishes, fennel, peas, arugula and radicchio together with enough Sweet Mustard Sauce to lightly coat. Transfer mixture to a large shallow platter or serving bowl.
- To the salad, add the roasted potatoes, salmon and eggs. Sprinkle with capers, fresh dill sprigs and garnish with Quick-Pickled Red Onion. Drizzle with additional Sweet Mustard Sauce.
For Quick-Pickled Red Onion:
- Add all ingredients to a 12 ounce glass jar. Add enough water to cover the onion and put on the lid.
- Allow the onion to sit in the liquid for at least one hour, or store refrigerated for up to a week.
