Provided by Mark Bittman

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ pound sweet cherries, stemmed and pitted
1 sprig fresh tarragon
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
¼ cup sugar
12 black peppercorns
¼ cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups torn frisée
4 ounces Brie or other creamy French cheese, cut into slices or bite-size pieces
½ cup shelled pistachios.

Steps:

  • Put the cherries and tarragon in a glass jar. Put the vinegars, sugar, peppercorns, and ½ cup water in a small saucepan over high heat. Bring the mixture just to a boil so that the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat, and let it cool slightly. Pour it over the cherries (it's fine if they're not completely submerged), and cool completely before capping and refrigerating. The cherries will be ready in a week and will last for a month.
  • Drain the cherries (reserving the liquid), and slice them in half. Whisk together the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the cherry liquid, salt and pepper in a small bowl; drizzle it over the frisée. Scatter the cherries, Brie and pistachios over the frisée, and serve.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces frisee (1 to 2 bunches), stems trimmed, leaves torn into 3-inch pieces (about 15 cups)
1/2 small head radicchio, preferably Treviso, cored and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, plus tarragon flowers (optional)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup shelled raw pistachios

Steps:

  • Combine frisee, radicchio, and tarragon leaves in a serving bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, lemon juice, and sugar. Slowly whisk in oil; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over salad, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with pistachios and tarragon flowers and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp frisée lettuce.
  • If you can't find frisée, you can substitute arugula or baby spinach.

  • Toast the pistachios before using them to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a light, fruity vinaigrette dressing to complement the salad.
  • Add crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese for a richer flavor.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling it so that the lettuce doesn't wilt.
