Ingredients
- 1 head endive (about 1 1/2 cups), coarsely chopped
- 1 head radicchio (about 3 cups), coarsely chopped
- 7 ounces baby arugula (about 5 cups)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup (about 1 ounce) coarsely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) pine nuts, toasted
Instructions
- Combine all the lettuces in a large salad bowl and toss them together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, mustard, and salt. Pour the olive oil into the bowl in a steady stream, whisking continuously until the mixture is emulsified.
- Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the lettuces; add the Parmesan and pine nuts. Toss everything together with large salad tongs. Add more dressing bit by bit if needed.
