Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large head radicchio (3/4 pound), cored and coarsely shredded
5 ounces arugula
1/4 pound Crucolo, provolone, Taleggio, or Fontina cheese, grated
1/2 cup roughly chopped lightly toasted hazelnuts
Saba or balsamic vinegar, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler to high.
  • Whisk the red wine vinegar with 1/4 cup olive oil in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the radicchio and arugula and toss to coat them nicely. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Pile the salad on ovenproof plates or an ovenproof platter and top with the cheese. Broil the salad just until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the toasted hazelnuts on top and finish with a drizzle of saba. Serve right away.

The melted cheese was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a lighter cheese.

This salad is a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different type of greens.

I'm not a big fan of bitter greens, but this salad was really good. The vinaigrette helped to balance out the bitterness.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. The bitter greens are packed with antioxidants, and the cheese is a good source of calcium and protein.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover greens. I had some escarole and dandelion greens that were starting to wilt, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.
