Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 spears endive, washed, dried, and coarsely chopped
1 small radicchio, washed, dried, and coarsely chopped
1/3 lb baby arugula, washed, dried, and thinly chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Top with shavings of Parmesan.

Tips:

Choose fresh and ripe vegetables: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
Use a variety of colors and textures: This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat. Some good options include red and yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, and artichoke hearts.
Don't overdress your salad: A little dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to drown your salad in it. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a good choice.
Add some protein and/or cheese: This will make your salad more filling and satisfying. Some good options include grilled chicken, shrimp, salmon, tofu, feta cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
Serve your salad immediately: Salads are best when they are served fresh. If you need to make your salad ahead of time, store the dressing separately and add it just before serving.
