INGREDIENTS

Croutons

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon thyme leaves

1/2 garlic clove, finely grated

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

4 cups artisan bread, cut into ½-inch cubes

Vinaigrette

1/2 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon Dijon or whole grain mustard

1 garlic clove, finely minced

2 teaspoons fresh tarragon, minced

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Salad

1 head radicchio, leaves coarsely torn

1 head fennel, very thinly sliced

2 small golden beets, very thinly sliced

1 small red beet, very thinly sliced (optional)

6 small white turnips, trimmed, very thinly sliced

8 cups lettuce, coarsely torn

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 

In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, melted butter, fresh thyme, garlic, salt and pepper and toss with the cubes of bread until well combined. Scatter the bread on a large rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy, turning them over at least once, about 20-25 minutes. 

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, mustard and garlic until well combined. Add in the tarragon and salt and pepper to taste. Chill while making the salad. 

Using a mandoline or very sharp knife, carefully slice all the veggies. Toss the radicchio, fennel, beets, turnips, and lettuce in a large bowl to combine. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss to coat. Toss in the croutons and pomegranate seeds. 

Place the salad on serving dishes and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over a few more pomegranate seeds and fresh thyme leaves. 

Enjoy !
