(10)

"I dined on the most sumptuous grilled radicchio salad at The Dish Bistro and Wine Bar the last time I was in Tucson," writes Cindy Shafer of Huntington Beach, California. "Please get the recipe — I must have it."

Yellow and green beans, and artichoke hearts are grilled along with the radicchio in this recipe. Serve the salad while the vegetables are still warm.

Ingredients

Vinaigrette

1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 1/2 teaspoons white truffle oil*
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Salad

6 ounces yellow wax beans
6 ounces green beans
4 heads of radicchio, quartered
1 13 3/4-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained
4 cups mixed baby greens

Preparation

  1. For vinaigrette:

    Step 1

    Whisk all ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewhisk before using.)

    Step 2

    Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place beans, radicchio, and artichoke hearts in large bowl. Add 6 tablespoons dressing and toss to coat.
