Arugula Salad with Plums and Pine Nuts

By Shelley Wiseman August/September 2014 Issue
Scott Phillips

Plums add sweetness and body to a quick blender dressing for this elegant combination of peppery arugula, gently bitter radicchio, and rich pine nuts.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. firm-ripe plums (about 4 medium), pitted and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges
  • 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1-1/2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbs. minced shallot
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 oz. baby arugula (5 packed cups)
  • 1 small head radicchio, cored and thinly sliced (1 packed cup)
  • 3 Tbs. toasted pine nuts

    The 4 stars are because I had to monkey with the dressing - it was way too vinegary. Added an extra 1/2 plum, and some honey. I also didn't like the texture with the plum skins, so I strained it. Then it worked well, and I loved the plums and arugula together. Left out the radicchio, as I don't like the extreme bitterness. I will make it again this way.
