Equipment

1 Small Pan
1 Medium Bowl
Whisk
1 Large Bowl

Ingredients

5 tablespoons pine nuts
3 tablespoons minced shallot
1 ½ teaspoon Dijon
3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 ½ cups chopped radicchio from about 1 small head
3 oz. arugula
½ cup thinly shaved Parmesan cheese
12 Castelvetrano olives pitted and cut in half lengthwise
8-10 baby artichoke hearts preferably a jar of grilled and marinated, cut in half lengthwise
2 oz. thinly sliced salami
2 whole roasted red peppers cut into 1 ½ inch strips

Instructions

Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add your pine nuts to toast, stirring occasionally, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
For the vinaigrette, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the minced shallot, Dijon, white balsamic vinegar, sherry vinegar, and garlic powder until combined. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Taste and season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed. (TIP: I like my salad dressing to be very acidic. If it's too acidic for you, add in an extra tablespoon on olive oil.)
In a large bowl, combine the radicchio, arugula, Parmesan, olives, artichokes, salami, pine nuts, roasted peppers, and as much dressing as you’d like. Toss with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add more dressing, salt or pepper, if needed and serve.

Notes

Once mixed, salad will not keep overnight. However, all components of the salad (except for the vinaigrette) can be placed in a bowl, not mixed, and will keep covered in the refrigerator overnight.

Vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
