Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1 medium lemon
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp honey
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 medium head radicchio (about 8 ounces)
- 1 small head Belgian endive (2 to 3 ounces)
- 14 Sunsweet Amaz!n Pitted Prunes (about half an 8-ounce pouch)
- 1 1/2 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, divided
- 3 ounces baby arugula (about 3 packed cups)
Instructions
Grate or mince 1 small garlic clove and place in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice from 1 medium lemon into the bowl (about 3 tablespoons). Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons honey, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and whisk until combined and emulsified.
Prepare the following, adding each to the bowl as you complete it: Trim the core from 1/2 medium head radicchio. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch wide ribbons and separate the leaves (about 1 1/2 cups). Halve 1 medium Belgian endive lengthwise and remove the core. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch wide ribbons and separate the leaves (about 1 cup). Halve 14 Sunsweet Amaz!n™ Pitted Prunes (about 3/4 cup).
Use a vegetable peeler to shave 1 1/2 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese (about 1/2 cup). Add half the cheese and 3 ounces baby arugula (about 3 packed cups) to the bowl. Toss to combine and coat everything in the vinaigrette. Garnish with the remaining cheese.
