Steps:
- Tear off the large tough stems from the bottom of the arugula. Wash and dry the arugula leaves. Cut the leaves into 1/2-inch shreds. Put the shredded arugula in a large bowl.
- Pull off 20 or so of the largest, nicest outer leaves from the endive. They are going to be your endive cups. Arrange them around the center of a large platter (or 2 smaller plates), leaving space in the center. Cut the remaining endive crosswise into 1/4-inch shreds, starting at the pointy top and stopping when you get to the bitter core. Put the shredded endive in the bowl with the arugula.
- Peel any outer wilted leaves from the radicchio and cut the head in half. Cut out the core and then cut the radicchio into 1/4-inch shreds. Add to the bowl with the arugula and the endive. (You can make the endive cups and prepare the greens up to a couple hours in advance. Cover them with damp paper towels and keep them in the refrigerator until you're ready to dress the salad.)
- To make the dressing: place all the dressing ingredients in a sealable container and shake until totally blended.
- Just before serving, toss the salad with most of the dressing. Fill the endive cups with salad and splatter with the remaining dressing. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut vegetables or a food processor to slice and dice the ingredients.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Just be sure to use about half the amount, as dried herbs are more concentrated.
- If you're using a vinaigrette dressing, be sure to whisk it well before pouring it over the salad. This will help the oil and vinegar to emulsify and create a smooth, creamy dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will help to prevent the vegetables from wilting.
- If you're making the salad ahead of time, dress it just before serving. This will help to keep the vegetables crisp.
