This salad was entered into a trial contest by Adele Hagan, a friend of Merrill's from cooking school. The recipe brings together all the qualities we want in a salad -- it's crisp, juicy, salty, sweet and herbal. One tweak we'd suggest is soaking the onion slices in water for 10 minutes and draining them before adding them to the salad. Otherwise you'll spend the rest of your day feeling like a dragon.
