Ingredients

  • 4 small heads little gem lettuce, washed
  • 1/4 lb. radicchio, washed
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/2 + teaspoon salt or to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup celery hearts, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
  • 3/4 cup fennel, thinly shaved
  • 1/2 cup Gruyère cheese, thinly shaved pieces

Instructions

  • In a small jar, add the olive oil, vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Shake well to combine.
