It's bold, balanced, and ready to steal the spotlight from any main. If you're tired of boring greens, this is the flavor bomb you've been waiting for.
Tips and Tricks
- Dress right before serving to keep your greens perky.
- Use a paper towel to blot your pickled radish if it's overly wet-no soggy salads.
Variations
- Add shaved Parmesan or Pecorino for richness.
- Include torn sourdough croutons or toasted seeds for extra crunch.
Substitutions
- Swap anchovy dressing for a garlicky tahini or lemon vinaigrette for a vegetarian twist.
- Can't find microgreens? Sub in finely sliced radicchio, arugula, or herbs like dill and parsley.
Best served with
- Grilled fish, roast chicken, or lamb chops
- A crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc
- Warm crusty bread to mop up any dressing
How to Store Leftovers
- Best eaten fresh. If storing, keep components separate-especially dressing and pickled radish.
Common Questions
Can I make this ahead?
Yes-prep the components, but don't dress the greens until ready to serve.
How do I make crispy capers?
Drain, pat dry, and fry capers in neutral oil at 350°F until they bloom and crisp-about 1-2 minutes.
