11216 Chicory and Arugula Salad with Honey Vinaigrette 5 mins 5 mins 2 to 3 servings Fri Nov 09 09:32:00 -0800 2007 Mon Mar 03 18:34:06 -0800 2008 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11216 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:34:06 GMT Bitter, sweet, and crunchy A bitter and sweet salad gets crunch from toasted walnuts. Some like the bitterness that chicory and arugula impart, but anyone will vouch that in too large a quantity, they’re overwhelming. This straightforward salad tosses the bitter lettuces in a slightly sweet honey vinaigrette to balance things out. And the crunch of toasted walnuts makes for a satisfying starter any day of the week.
