This bright, zippy chicory salad gets dressed with a punchy anchovy-lemon vinaigrette and adds a serious pop of color to your table. Use as many different varieties of chicories as you can find. This recipe is from Montreal’s cozy-cool coffee-pizza-wine restaurant Elena.

  • Wow! This salad dressing is absolutely epic. I made a few adjustments to the recipe as I meal prep for one. 1) I doubled the dressing recipe and stirred the grated cheese right into it. I was able to refrigerate the dressing and use as needed. 2) I swapped chicories for hearts of romaine, which I cut in half lengthwise and seared cut-side-down in a hot dry pan. 3) I then spread the dressing over the charred lettuce and topped with sautéed prawns. I ate the whole meal with a fork and steak knife five days in a row and didn't get sick of it once... So tasty!!!
