Ingredients
- 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Kosher salt, to taste
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 heads Boston lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 head red leaf lettuce, torn
- 1 small head radicchio, torn
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast until golden and fragrant, about 67 minutes. Let cool completely.
- For the pickled shallots: In a small microwave-safe bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Microwave until hot, about 30 seconds. Add the sliced shallot and let marinate 1520 minutes.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the torn lettuces and radicchio. Drain the shallots from the pickling liquid and add them to the greens along with the toasted walnuts.
- To make the dressing, whisk the sour cream, olive oil, and Dijon mustard into the remaining pickling liquid. Season with freshly ground black pepper and additional salt if needed.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately.
