1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot

1 large head radicchio (3/4 pound), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 heads cauliflower, cut into medium florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup pesto
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
6 cups mixed baby arugula, spinach and kale
1/2 cup pitted Castelvetrano olives, halved
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
1/2 cup fresh Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Toss together the cauliflower florets, olive oil, salt and pepper and divide between 2 baking sheets. Roast until the cauliflower is deep golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool.
Meanwhile, in a dry saute pan over medium heat, toast the pine nuts until lightly toasted, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the baking sheets with the cauliflower.
Next, place the pesto and champagne vinegar in a small mason jar. Screw on the lid and shake until well combined.
Place the baby greens onto a large platter, top with the cooled cauliflower and pine nuts and then scatter the olives and parsley over the top. Just before serving, drizzle over the dressing and toss.
