Ingredients
Scale
For the radicchio salad
- 1 head radicchio, washed, dried and torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 head butter lettuce, washed, dried and torn into bite-sized pieces or 2 cups baby arugula or baby mizuna
- 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons toasted almonds (or pine nuts)
- 1/4 cup goat cheese crumbles (or feta or gorgonzola), optional
- 1 handful fresh mint leaves
For the citrus vinaigrette
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, orange zest, honey, and kosher salt. Gradually whisk in the olive oil 1 tablespoon at a time until a creamy dressing forms. Store refrigerated; the dressing will solidify when cooled so bring to room temperature before serving.
- Toast the nuts.
- Prepare the radicchio, butter lettuce (if using), pear, shallot as noted above.
- On a large platter or on salad plates, place the radicchio pieces and butter lettuce or baby arugula or mizuna. Add the pear slices, then sprinkle over the sliced shallot, toasted nuts, goat cheese crumbles, and mint leaves. Drizzle with the orange dressing and serve.
