Grilled Mixed Salad with Lemon and Parmesan
Grilling is the way to go during summer, and salad isn’t exempt. Romaine, raddichio and leeks get kissed by the grill then topped with crunchy raw fennel and a gorgeously creamy Dijon Parmigianino vinaigrette.
4 stalks Romaine Lettuce
2 heads Radicchio, cut into quarters
2 leeks, halved lengthwise
1 fennel bulb
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan + extra for garnish
¾ cup olive oil
salt
pepper
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
Generously drizzle the lettuce, radicchio, and leeks in olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Char them all on the grill until they start to wilt and get a nice color. Thinly slice the fennel. Roughly chop all the lettuces and leeks. Whisk all dressing ingredients together, season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange your lettuces on a platter with thinly sliced red onion. Topped with fennel and spoon on dressing. Add extra parmesan for garnish.
