Bold Winter Greens Salad

20 minServes 4

Winter greens - kale, radicchio, endive - are bitter, bold, and beautiful. This salad leans into that bitterness with a sweet, tangy dressing that balances everything perfectly. Add some toasted nuts, a little cheese, and you have a salad that actually satisfies.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups lacinato kale, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup radicchio, shredded
  • 1 head Belgian endive, sliced
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/3 cup toasted walnuts
  • 2 oz shaved Parmesan or pecorino
  • For dressing: 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp honey, salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Massage kale with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil for 1–2 minutes until slightly softened.
  2. 2Combine kale, radicchio, and endive in a large bowl.
  3. 3Whisk together all dressing ingredients until emulsified.
  4. 4Toss greens with dressing.
  5. 5Top with pomegranate seeds, walnuts, and shaved cheese.
  6. 6Serve immediately.

Jennifer's tip

Massaging the kale is the secret - it breaks down the tough fibers and makes it tender and much more pleasant to eat.
