Mixed Chicories with Burnt Honey Vinaigrette

Be the first to rate & review!

The bold, peppery bitter greens in this easy salad recipe offset the sweet honey vinaigrette. It makes a great starter or side dish--or top it with chicken and roasted potatoes and you can serve it for dinner.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 5 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 10 cups lightly packed torn frisée, escarole, endive and/or chicory (12 ounces)

  • 4 cups lightly packed torn radicchio

  • ½ cup lightly packed fresh parsley leaves

Directions

  1. Cook honey in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, swirling the pan and scraping down the sides, until it is dark amber in color and smells deeply caramelized, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately add vinegar, whisking to combine. Whisk in shallot, mustard, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil until well combined.

  2. Place frisée (and/or escarole, endive, chicory), radicchio and parsley in a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss to combine.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate vinaigrette (Step 1) for up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before tossing with the greens.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
