Ingredients

walnuts 100g
Treviso or Verona radicchio or chicory 1 head, leaves separated
pomegranate seeds 50g
mint a handful of leaves, torn

DRESSING

garlic 1 clove, crushed
Dijon mustard 1 tbsp
lemon 1, zested and juiced
white wine vinegar 2 tsp
extra-virgin olive oil 100ml, plus extra to serve

Method

Step 1

Toast the walnuts in a dry pan until they smell nutty. Cool, then roughly crush with clean hands.
Step 2

To make the dressing, put the garlic, mustard, lemon juice, vinegar and some seasoning into a bowl, and mix well, then slowly add the oil, whisking all the time, to create a thick emulsion.
Step 3

Generously dress the leaves in the dressing so that all the leaves are coated. Assemble the dressed leaves on a plate so that they are ready to catch the pomegranate seeds and walnuts. Scatter over the pomegranate seeds, crushed walnuts, mint and lemon zest, and drizzle with some extra olive oil, if you like.
