  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound green beans
  • 1 head radicchio
  • 1 teaspoon capers, drained
  • 2 small fennel bulbs, cut into fourths
  • 1 head Boston lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1 jar (6 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained
  • 1/4 cup olive or vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh mint leaf or 1/8 teaspoon dried mint leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage leaves or 1/8 teaspoon dried sage leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano leaves or 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

Steps

  • 1
    Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling in 3-quart saucepan. Add green beans. Boil uncovered 6 to 8 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Rinse in cold water until chilled; drain.
  • 2
    Arrange radicchio leaves around edge of serving platter. Mix beans, capers, fennel, boston lettuce and artichoke hearts; place in center of radicchio-lined platter. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over salad.

  • Fennel bulbs are sometimes labeled as anise in the grocery store. Look for a long bulb of celery-like stems with bright green, feathery leaves that smell a bit like licorice.
  • Save prep time when you use a bag of fancy mixed salad greens instead of tearing up a head of Boston lettuce.
