Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt
8 ounces sugar snap peas (about 2 cups), trimmed, thinly sliced on a diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces
1 bunch radishes (about 12), trimmed, thinly sliced
4 medium Persian cucumbers, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1 romaine heart, quartered lengthwise, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 medium head of radicchio, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
6 ounces feta, crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups torn dill fronds
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vinegar in a large bowl. Let sit 10 minutes, then mix in oil. Set vinaigrette aside.
  • Meanwhile, mix a palmful of salt into a medium bowl of ice water; add peas. Let sit 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry (this makes them super crisp).
  • Add peas, radishes, cucumbers, romaine, and radicchio to bowl with reserved vinaigrette; toss well to coat. Add feta and dill, season with salt and pepper, and toss again to combine. Transfer to a platter to serve.
  • Do Ahead:
  • Vinaigrette can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the tomatoes, the tanginess of the feta, and the bitterness of the arugula all come together perfectly.

This salad is a great make-ahead lunch. I made it the night before, and it was just as good the next day.

I used a store-bought shallot vinaigrette for this salad, and it turned out great. It's a great shortcut if you're short on time.

I added some chopped walnuts to this salad for some extra crunch. It was a great addition.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I used spinach instead. It was still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of dill, so I omitted it from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover roasted broccoli and cauliflower, and they were perfect in this salad.

This chopped salad is so refreshing and flavorful! The shallot vinaigrette is the perfect dressing, and the feta and dill add a nice tang. I will definitely be making this again.
