Radicchio Caesar Salad

Radicchio Caesar Salad Recipe

Inspired by Diane Morgan’s recipe in The Christmas Table (Chronicle Books, 2008), this salad features the bitter flavors of radicchio, contrasting with the rich flavors of a Caesar dressing.

Ingredients
Dressing:
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Salad:
3 heads radicchio (about 1 1/2 pounds), cored, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
2 cups plain croutons
Coarsely ground black pepper
Instructions
1. To prepare dressing, combine all ingredients in a jar; cover tightly and shake vigorously. Refrigerate until ready to use. (The dressing can be made up to 1 day in advance.)
2. To prepare salad, place radicchio in a large salad bowl. Shake dressing well and pour over salad. Toss until leaves are well coated. Sprinkle with cheese; add croutons and pepper. Toss to combine. Serves 8.
