CHOPPED ROMA SALAD

Here is my version of a Chopped Roma Salad, with shaved Pecorino Romano Cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and cannellini beans.

1 head romaine lettuce, chopped

1 small head radicchio, chopped 

½ cup cannellini beans drained and rinsed 

8 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

Shaved Pecorino Romano Cheese, for garnish

Vinaigrette 
1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed

1 small shallot, minced

1 T Dijon mustard

¼ cup white wine vinegar

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Rinse and spin dry the lettuces.

Place in a salad bowl and add the beans and sun-dried tomatoes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, shallot, and vinegar.
While whisking, slowly add the olive oil and whisk until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Pour some of the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.

Top with a few pieces of shaved Pecorino Romano cheese and serve.

Save the rest of the vinaigrette in a jar in the refrigerator for another salad.
