Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt
3/4 cup unsalted, shelled raw pistachios, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons za'atar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 large heads of frisée (about 1 1/2 pounds), torn into bite-sized pieces
1 pound medium carrots, preferably rainbow, shaved lengthwise with a vegetable peeler
2 cups flat-leaf parsley leaves with tender stems
1 1/2 cups green seedless grapes, quartered, divided
Flaky sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp. kosher salt in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast pistachios, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and 1 tsp. za'atar in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 tsp. kosher salt. Transfer to a small bowl; let cool and set aside.
  • Add honey and 1 tsp. za'atar to lemon mixture and whisk to combine, then whisk in 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil in a slow, steady stream.
  • Place frisée, carrots, parsley, 3/4 cup grapes, and half of the pistachios in a large bowl and drizzle with vinaigrette. Gently toss until frisée is evenly dressed; season with sea salt and pepper. Top with remaining pistachios and 3/4 cup grapes.
