Simple Green Salad with Citronette

Frisée and radicchio are both assertive, slightly bitter greens that add color and texture to any salad. Match them with mellower-flavored greens, such as red leaf lettuce, baby spinach or even Boston lettuce.

6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each (plus 2/3 cup extra dressing)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 4 cups torn peppery and/or bitter greens, such as frisee, watercress, radicchio or arugula
  • 8 cups mild greens, such as Boston lettuce, mesclun, baby spinach or baby romaine
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion

PREPARATION

  1. Combine orange juice, lemon juice, oil, shallot, mustard, salt and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Close the jar and shake until well combined.
  2. Place greens and onion in a large salad bowl; toss with 1/3 cup of the dressing.
