Tips

NoteI like arranging this one instead of tossing it immediately — it stays prettier.

NoteKeep components separate in the fridge and dress to order for great next-day lunches.

NoteA pinch of red pepper flakes at the end ties the briny things together.

Frequently asked

Can I add meat?+

Yes — salami or prosciutto curled on top turns it into the classic version.

No radicchio available?+

Endive, frisée, or simply more arugula all work — you want something with a little bitter edge.

Make-ahead strategy?+

Prep everything and store separately; assemble and dress within 15 minutes of serving.
