Ingredients

SALAD

1/3 head radicchio wash, dry, slice leaves about 1/4" wide
1/3 head romaine lettuce wash, dry, tear to bite size
1/3 bunch watercress wash, dry, tough stems removed, bite size
1 1/2 cups baby arugula wash, dry
1 cup red seedless grapes sliced in half lengthwise

DRESSING

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

Instructions

In a large salad bowl, toss together all salad ingredients.
In a 2 cup measuring cup or bowl, add all dressing ingredients. Whisk to combine.
Just before serving, whisk dressing, add desired amount to salad greens and toss.

Notes

Dressing makes enough for a triple batch of salad. Salad can easily be scaled up or down.

If preparing ahead, add vinaigrette just before serving.
