Ingredients for Chicory Salad with Honey-Mustard Vinaigrette

  • 240ml pecans

  • 60ml sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

  • 60ml whole grain mustard

  • 2 tablespoons vegan honey

  • 1 head of radicchio, leaves separated and torn

  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced chives

  • Extra-virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

Preheat oven to 177°C. Toast pecans on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until slightly darkened and fragrant, 6–8 minutes. Let cool; crush or coarsely chop.

Whisk vinegar, mustard, and honey in a large bowl to combine. Add escarole, radicchio, chives, and half of the pecans. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and lots of pepper, and toss to coat. Top salad with remaining pecans.
