Chef notes
The unique taste of this traditional Italian salad is defined by the variety of bitter greens. It pairs just as well with a light fish dish as it does with rich meats. It's versatile, simple to prepare and one of my favorite meal starters.
Preparation
1.Add the greens, radicchio, herbs and radishes to a large bowl. Gently toss together.
2.Add the shallot, olive oil, vinegar and salt to a small cruet. Shake to emulsify.
3.Pour the dressing around the edge of the bowl and gently toss the greens so the dressing adheres to the greens.
