Green Rocket Salad

By
Dana McCauley
Peppery lettuces and sweet yellow pepper complement each other nicely in this riotously colourful salad.

Ingredients

2 bunches arugula or 4 cups (1 L) torn Boston lettuce
1 small head radicchio
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  thinly sliced red onion
1 yellow or orange pepper, thinly sliced
Dressing:
2 tbsp  (30 mL)  balsamic vinegar
1 tsp  (5 mL)  finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  each salt and pepper
1/4 cup  (50 mL)  extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Wash arugula in cold water until all the grit is removed. Spin or pat dry. Remove long stems and place leaves in a large serving bowl. Tear radicchio into bite-size pieces.

Add radicchio, onion and pepper to arugula. Toss until well combined. (Can be prepared to this point, covered with a damp cloth and plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to a day.)

Whisk balsamic vinegar with rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisking, drizzle in olive oil until well combined.

Drizzle dressing over arugula mixture. Toss to coat evenly.

Makes 8 servings.
