i. Cugini Italian Salad (3 PTS)

Recipe Instructions 1. Rinse and drain arugula; discard coarse stems and discolored leaves. Trim and discard root ends from radicchio and endive, and separate each head into leaves; rinse and drain. Wrap arugula, radicchio, and endive separately in towels and enclose together in a plastic bag. Chill at least 15 minutes or up to 1 day.

In a wide bowl, mix vinegar, olive oil, and garlic. Mound arugula in the bowl and top with radicchio (break any very large leaves in half), then endive. Shave parmesan onto salad (see notes) and sprinkle generously with pepper. To serve, lift with 2 forks or spoons to mix; add salt to taste.
