Italian Chopped Salad

Name: Italian Chopped Salad
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter; 7 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided; 1 14.5-oz. can chickpeas, rinsed; 2 small garlic cloves, divided; Kosher salt; 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar; 1½ tsp. honey; 1 tsp. Dijon mustard; ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes; Freshly ground black pepper; 1 head of radicchio, thinly sliced; 2 endive, thinly sliced; 2½ oz. sharp provolone cheese, thinly sliced, torn; 2 oz. cured fennel salami, thinly sliced, cut into half-moons

Instructions

This winter salad with peak season chicories, salami, and crispy chickpeas is hearty enough to have on its own for dinner, but not so over-the-top that you can’t also enjoy it alongside a heftier main, like pizza or pasta. The bright, just-sweet-enough dressing tempers the bitterness of the greens and the richness of the salami for a balanced dish you just might not want to share.
