Radicchio and Apple Salad with Parmesan CrispsChristopher Testani

Pomeroy prefers to serve salad at the end of the meal; with this one, you get a bit of a cheese course at the same time.

Do ahead:

Vinaigrette and Parmesan Crisps (do not break) can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill vinaigrette. Keep crisps airtight at room temperature. Reheat until sizzling, if needed, to recrisp.

Ingredients

6 ounces Parmesan, finely grated, divided
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 small shallot, finely chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 medium heads of radicchio, leaves separated, torn in half if large
1 medium bunch arugula, tough stems removed
1 large Pink Lady apple, thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. On a silicone mat-lined baking sheet, divide 4 ounces grated Parmesan into 8 mounds. (Alternatively, line with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray.) Press with your fingers to flatten. Bake until cheese is golden and melted, 6-8 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool; break crisps into coarse pieces.

    Step 2

    Heat honey in a small skillet over medium heat until warmed through. Whisk honey, shallot, oil, vinegar, and mustard in a large bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Add radicchio, arugula, apple, and remaining grated Parmesan to vinaigrette; toss to coat. Season with sea salt and pepper. Serve topped with crisps.
