Charred Tricolore Salad
- 3 large heads radicchio, cored and quartered
- 3 large endives, halved lengthwise
- 1 recipe Balsamic Vinaigrette (see below)
- 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
- 1 bunch arugula
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 14 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Whisk the mustard and the vinegar together in a mixing bowl.
- Whisking constantly, add 2-3 tablespoons of the oil in a thin stream until the mixture thickens.
- Then in a steady stream, whisk in the remaining oil.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, you can thin the vinaigrette by whisking in a few drops of water.
- Preheat a gas grill to medium high, or preheat a grill pan on top of the stove to medium.
- Grill the radicchio and endive, uncovered, until they begin to wilt and char but are still holding their shape, 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the dressing leftover in the bottom of the mixing bowl.
- Place the radicchio and endive in a large bowl and add the vinaigrette and oregano.
- Toss to coat.
