Radicchio Endive Chicken Salad combines tender chicken with crisp, slightly bitter radicchio and endive, topped with a tangy homemade mustard dressing. A flavorful, healthy dish that’s perfect for a light meal or side at any gathering.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon ground paprika

3 heads radicchio

3 heads endive

1 heart romaine lettuce

1 cup fresh basil leaves

½ cup shaved Parmesan

1 cup cherry tomatoes

For the Dressing:

¼ cup whole grain mustard

2 lemons, juiced

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

1 tablespoon honey

3 cloves garlic

1 tablespoon shallot, minced

¼ cup red wine vinegar

Instructions

  • Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with black pepper, onion powder, and paprika. Grill or cook in a skillet for 5-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let the chicken rest before slicing it into thin strips.

  • Prepare the Salad Greens: While the chicken cooks, chop the radicchio, endive, and romaine into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large salad bowl.

  • Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together whole grain mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, garlic, minced shallot, and red wine vinegar until smooth.

  • Assemble the Salad: Add fresh basil, shaved Parmesan, and cherry tomatoes to the greens. Toss gently.

  • Add Chicken and Dressing: Top the salad with sliced grilled chicken and drizzle with the mustard dressing. Toss again until evenly coated.

  • Serve: Serve immediately as a main dish or side.

Notes

Variations: Add avocado, grilled vegetables, or use a vegan version with chickpeas or tofu. For extra crunch, add nuts like toasted almonds or walnuts.

Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep the dressing separate to prevent wilting.
