Time 25m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped unsalted raw cashews
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey
Kosher salt
1/2 cup tahini
1 small navel or other orange, zested and juiced, plus 3 more oranges
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt
1 small head radicchio or 2 cups arugula
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup mint leaves or any soft herb
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • For the cashew-sesame crunch: Heat the olive oil in a medium heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat until shimmering, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cashews, stirring continuously, until lightly golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and crushed red pepper. Cook, stirring continuously, until the nuts are golden and the mixture is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the maple syrup. Season with kosher salt. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the salad: Combine the tahini with the orange zest and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Add half of the orange juice and half of the lemon juice. Slowly whisk in 1/4 cup water until the sauce is smooth and fluffy. Season with kosher salt. Set aside.
  • Cut the ends off the 3 remaining oranges. Stand each orange on one end and cut away the peel and white pith, following the contour of the fruit with a very sharp paring knife. Work from top to bottom, rotating the orange as you go. Slice the oranges into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and discard any seeds. Set aside.
  • Thinly slice the radicchio with a mandoline or sharp knife and transfer to another medium bowl. Add the olive oil and the remaining lemon juice and orange juice and toss until combined.
  • Spread the tahini sauce on a serving platter to fully cover the surface. Arrange the orange slices on top and sprinkle with sea salt. Mound the radicchio on top in a generous pile and sprinkle with sea salt. Scatter the mint leaves and cashew-sesame crunch over the top.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 heads Bibb lettuce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons minced chives
1/4 cup Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup tarragon leaves
1/4 cup chervil leaves
1/2 cup House Vinaigrette
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Carefully cut out the core from each head of lettuce and separate the leaves, but keep each head of lettuce together; discard any tough outer leaves. Because each head of lettuce will be reassembled, the easiest way to work is with one head at a time. First, place the leaves in a bowl of cold water to refresh them and remove any dirt, then lift out and spin-dry in a salad spinner.
  • Place the leaves from a single head of lettuce in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the shallots and chives, and 1 tablespoon each of the parsley, tarragon, and chervil. Then toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Repeat with the remaining heads.
  • For each serving, arrange the outer lettuce leaves as a base on the plate and rebuild each head of lettuce, ending with the smallest, most tender leaves.
