Tricolore Salad with Parmigiano Reggiano


Tricolore Salad with Parmigiano Reggiano

Chef Jordan Schachter
Here's a visually stunning salad from Chef Jordan Schachter that sets the richness of aged Parmesan cheese against the bright bitterness of fresh arugula, radicchio and endive.
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

TRICOLORE SALAD

LEMON VINAIGRETTE

  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon champagne vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prep your salad in three separate bowls. Remove any woody stems from the arugula leaves and put into the frist bowl. Halve the endives lengthwise, slice into half-inch pieces and put into the second bowl. Halve the radicchio and then slice each half into thin ribbons. Put into the third bowl.
  • Combine the lemon juice, vinegar, salt and thyme in a mixing bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is fully emulsified and the flavor is somewhat acidic but balanced.
  • Dress each of the three salad components separately and season with salt to taste. Form three bands of the different salads (like the Italian flag) and, using a vegetable peeler or cheese plane, shave thin curls of Parmigiano Reggiano over the top.
