Recipe: Wilted Insalata Tricolore

I picked up a rotisserie chicken and baguette and thought this classic Italian salad would be a great accompaniment.

Yield: 4 servings
Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 head radicchio, washed and sliced or torn into large pieces 
• 8 cups loosely packed arugula, washed and trimmed of tough stems 
• 2 heads Belgian endive, washed, trimmed and sliced lengthwise into 3/4-inch slices 
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
• 1-2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 
• Grated Parmigianno Reggiano

Directions

1. Wash the radicchio and arugula, tear into pieces and gently dry in a salad spinner. Rinse the endive and pat dry with a paper towl.
2. In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add raddichio and endive to oil and saut&eacuate;, with a pinch of kosher salt, 2 minutes, stirring. Add arugula to pan and sauté until just wilted. Toss with 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar, adding more to taste, if desired. Top with freshly ground pepper, Parmesan and serve.
