Tricolore Salad + Tahini Ranch

Serves 4 | Prep Time: 12 minutes | Cook Time: none

Tricolore salad is a classic Italian style salad. I thought some creamy ‘ranch’ based sauce would work well here too. Serve with miso chicken for a great weeknight meal. I used kale here, but arugula works best for the peppery flavor.

Ingredients

1 head radicchio Treviso (the long headed one), chopped
2 heads endive
3-4 cups arugula

Tahini ranch

1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1-2 garlic cloves (micro planned)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3 tablespoons freshly chopped dill
3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
A couple of turns of freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt to taste

Chef Tips

This is a base preparation if you want a simple salad. You could add some radish, legumes, nuts/seeds, eggs and avocado for a fuller salad.

Preparation

Step 1 (for the tahini ranch)

Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt to taste. Taste and adjust. Maybe you want the garlic more prevalent or more acid.

Step 2

Combine all salad greens in a large bowl and few tablespoons of the ranch. Mix to evenly combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust.
