Michigan Summer Salad (pictured above)
Ingredients
For the eggs
6 large eggs
1 qt. homemade or store-bought pickled beets
For the salad
1 tsp. ground smoked paprika or chile pepper flakes
1/2 cup plus 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/3 cup vinegar – rice or red wine or other favorite
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
5 oz. (about 5 cups) mixed baby greens
1 oz. (about 1 cup) mixed herbs and edible flowers, such as lovage, flowering chives, shiso, fennel fronds, nasturtium, goose tongue, and basil, thinly sliced
5 medium radishes thinly sliced, preferably on a mandolin
1 medium kohlrabi or 9 oz. broccoli stems, peeled, cut in half, and thinly sliced, preferably on a mandolin
1 oz. (about 1 cup) finely grated favorite cheese
1 Tbs. finely grated lemon zest (from 1 large)
Preparation
For the eggs
Bring a 2-quart pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently add the eggs, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for 7 minutes. Drain immediately and run under cold water until the eggs have cooled completely. Peel and transfer to a medium bowl.
Carefully pour enough of the pickling liquid over the eggs to cover, leaving the beets behind in the jar. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
For the salad
In a mortar and pestle, combine the 2 tsp. of the oil, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Pound the mixture to a paste, transfer to a medium bowl and whisk in the mustard and the vinegar. In a slow, steady stream, whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, combine the greens, herbs, flowers, kohlrabi, radishes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss to lightly coat with the vinaigrette and gently transfer to a large serving platter.
Remove the pickled eggs from the brine and gently pat dry. Halve the eggs lengthwise and sprinkle the cut sides with the flakey sea salt. Arrange the eggs over the greens. Evenly sprinkle the cheese and lemon zest over the salad and serve.
