This beautiful radicchio and endive salad with miso dressing is truly unbelievable! Creamy dressing, crisp endive leaves, lettuce and crunchy breadcrumbs make this so special. I absolutely love this miso, caesar-ish inspired dressing, paired with endive and radicchio, it’s just so perfect!
What ingredients do you need for this radicchio and endive salad?
Endives and radicchio: Belgian endive and a head of radicchio make this salad complete! Which are part of the chicory family. Both gives this salad really lovely crunchy textures.
For the miso dressing: This dressing is caesar-ish inspired with a caesar base and miso. Opt to add tahini instead of mayo here, too and that will just as delicious. Similar to our whole cauliflower with miso and tahini, which is definitely one of my favorite recipes.
For the vinaigrette, you’ll need, extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice
Cheese: We are using parmesan cheese here, but cheeses like blue cheese or Gorgonzola I feel would also be awesome. For this salad, I love to thinly slice the parmesan with a vegetable peeler to get beautiful ribbons.
Herbs such as parsley leaves and basil
Optional additions: I feel like some toasted walnuts would be great here such as pecans or walnuts, as well, or thinly sliced fennel and fennel fronds, yum! Even, frisée or arugula would be great. Chives as well! To add some sweetness, apples will be yum.
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions to make this recipe
Make your breadcrumbs
In a small skillet, heat up olive oil and add in your breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, grated garlic and lemon zest. Toast, about 5-6 minutes, stirring every so often so they don’t burn. Remove from the heat and toss in a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
Make your dressing
In a small bowl, whisk dressing together with mayo, miso, dijon mustard, garlic, worcestershire, parmesan, olive oil and lemon juice. Set aside.
Prep your lettuce
In a large bowl, wash and clean your endive and radicchio. Dry and season with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve
In the bowl with your washed greens, add in your parmesan, torn parsley and basil, cooled breadcrumbs and dressing. Toss to combine.
To serve, I like to add them in layers on a platter, then finish off with a drizzle of more dressing, breadcrumbs and shaved parmesan.

I didn’t use the breadcrumbs because I’m gluten free and swapped the lemon for apple cider vinegar since I ran out of lemons… and omg this dressing is OUTSTANDING. 10/10 will make this a regular in my homemade dressing rotation.
