Chicory Salad with HoneyMustard Vinaigrette
Photo by Michael Graydon & Nikole Herriott

This sweet-sharp vinaigrette pairs well with the bitter chicories, but feel free to use another sturdy green if you like.

Ingredients

8 servings

1 cup pecans
1/4 cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/4 cup whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons honey
1 head of escarole, leaves separated and torn
1 head of radicchio, leaves separated and torn
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 6–8 minutes. Let cool; crush or coarsely chop.

    Step 2

    Whisk vinegar, mustard, and honey in a large bowl to combine. Add escarole, radicchio, chives, and half of the pecans. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and lots of pepper, and toss to coat. Top salad with remaining pecans.

  2. Do Ahead

    Step 3

    Pecans can be toasted 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

  • This salad made a group of salad-on-thanksgiving non-believers see the value of salad on turkey day! I'll definitely be making it on many other days of the year too, maybe adding a sliced green apple and/or goat cheese...but it's really lovely just as written.

  • Made this for Thanksgiving. Very nice salad, restaurant style. The pecan added a nice crunch and earthiness. Sadly our local store did not have endive, so we substituted with baby arugula.

  • Have made this exactly as is, and when I can’t find escarole, with kale that I chiffonade. It’s awesome either way, and is a great side on thanksgiving, or any other meal that needs some tart, crunchy balance to cut through all the sweet and fat on the table.
