Ingredients

• 6 cups Mixed baby greens or field greens
• 1 small head Radicchio
• 1 medium Fennel bulb
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cups Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thoroughly wash and dry the mixed baby greens and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Trim the radicchio, removing the tough core, and slice it into thin ribbons. Add the radicchio to the salad bowl with the greens.

Step 3

Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, thinly slice the fennel bulb into paper-thin pieces. Add the fennel slices to the greens and radicchio in the bowl.

Step 4

Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmesan cheese into thin curls. Set aside for garnishing the salad later.

Step 5

In a small bowl or jar, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 6

Drizzle the prepared vinaigrette over the greens mixture a little at a time, gently tossing the salad to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning or add more vinaigrette as needed.

Step 7

Plate the salad evenly among four dishes or serve it family-style. Top with the Parmesan curls for a final touch of richness.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy this light, flavorful Insalata Del Campo!
