Steps
In a wide mouth mason jar, using an immersion blender to blend, place the egg and slowly add the light olive oil until it emulsifies and thickens. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate to allow the dressing to thicken while you make the salad.
In a large pot over high heat, bring water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl. Set aside.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and parboil for 3 minutes or until cooked through but still crisp. Immediately remove, drain, and add to the ice water bath. Let cool in the ice water for 5 minutes. Drain and dry. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the greens and sprinkle with salt. If your greens are big, tear the leaves into smaller pieces. Sprinkle salt and add about 3 tablespoons of Marinated Red Onion oil and around ½ cup of marinated red onions. Add the chicken, green beans, radicchio, cucumbers, radishes, avocado, olives, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, celery, and hearts of palm (if using). Toss to fully combine. Add more marinated onion oil until the salad is fully coated and red wine vinegar. Season to taste with more salt and freshly ground black pepper.
