Arugula, Frisee, and Red-Leaf Salad with Strawberries - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Kim Andjordan
Create your own salad mix with a combination of three leafy-green varieties, each with its own unique color, texture, and flavor. In this salad, peppery, dark-green arugula contrasts with sweet, crisp red-leaf lettuce and light-green, lacy, bitter frisee. (A member of the chicory family, frisee is more delicate and has a less bitter flavor than chicory.) If you prefer a lighter dish, you can easily keep this salad lean and simple by omitting the walnuts and goat cheese.
