Ingredients

Parmesan Walnuts

  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 1/4 teaspoon hickory smoked salt or seasoned salt
  • 1 1/2 cups walnut pieces
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Salad

  • 1 medium head iceberg lettuce
  • 1 medium bunch leaf lettuce
  • 1/2 bunch curly endive
  • 1/2 small head radicchio
  • 6 oz fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup oil-and-vinegar dressing

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In 9-inch square pan, heat butter and salt in oven 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly. Stir in walnuts. Bake uncovered 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; toss until walnuts are evenly coated. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is light brown; cool.
  • 2
    Into large bowl, tear lettuce, endive, radicchio and spinach into bite-size pieces (about 12 cups). Add dressing and walnuts; toss until greens are well coated.

  • You’ll probably want to make more of the Parmesan walnuts than you need just so you have extras on hand to toss with pasta, rice and other grain dishes.
  • Look for curly endive with the other lettuce varieties in your supermarket. Pronounced “ahn-DEEV,” this curly green grows in loose heads of lacy, green outer leaves that curl at the tips. Its leaves have a prickly texture and slightly bitter taste.
