Notes

To accurately taste salad dressing, drizzle a small amount onto a leaf, then adjust seasoning to taste.

If substituting, the pomegranate molasses with one of the suggestions, mix it with a small amount of vinegar. You can use goji berries (soaked in hot water and drained) instead of pomegranate seeds.

Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

Place the pomegranate molasses, mustard, maple syrup and lemon juice into a bowl, whisk to combine. Slowly stream in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until you have a glossy emulsified dressing. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3

Arrange the chicory and radicchio on a serving platter. Drizzle over the dressing. Top with orange, pomegranate seeds, mint leaves and pistachios.
