TO PREPARE

Vinaigrette

Place all the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl, whisk well and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.

Potato Salad

Cut the spring onion green tops on a bias ¼” thick and reserve 5 Tbsp. Thinly slice the remaining white part of the spring onions and set aside.
Heat butter and all-purpose Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add the white part of the spring onion and beet stems. Cook 4 minutes then add minced garlic and remaining green onion tops. Cook until beets stems are tender. Remove from heat and sprinkle with ½ tsp. Lemon Finishing Sea Salt and 1/8 tsp. Tarragon Pink Peppercorns.
Prepare a pot with 1½” water and steamer basket. Steam potatoes just until tender, 6-9 minutes; do not overcook. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl, let cool for 2 minutes, then add the onion-beet-garlic mixture. Pour vinaigrette over the warm potatoes and very gently mix. Let sit 10-15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve warm or room temperature

TO SERVE

On a barrel stave platter or large serving plate, arrange the 4 large Swiss chard leaves overlapping. Note: If using the barrel stave platter, place a layer of plastic wrap under the Swiss chard leaves to catch any of the vinaigrette. Place the potato salad on top the leaves, garnish with the remaining 3 Tbsp. green onion tops and drizzle of Lemon Olive Oil.
