Wilted Chicories with Sherry Vinaigrette Nugget Markets quick and easy

Fun Fact: Escarole, curly endive (or frisée), and radicchio are all from the chicory family. Flavor Fact: They're also all delicious in this simple wilted salad!

Ingredients

Dressing:

  • 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste

Salad:

  • 1 head radicchio
  • 1 head escarole
  • 1 head curly endive
  • 5 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup candied pecans

Preparation

For the dressing, mix all ingredients in a bowl until well-blended.

For the salad, cut the radicchio in half and lightly grill each half until just barely warm and slightly wilted. Let grilled radicchio rest for 10 minutes, then julienne.

Chop remaining greens and place them in a large work bowl with the radicchio. Warm the dressing in a sauce pot, then lightly dress and toss the greens until evenly coated and only slightly wilted from the heat.

Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese over the salad, then finish with candied pecans.
