Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of broccolini or baby broccoli, to yield 3 cups chopped

  • 3 cups chopped radicchio (from a medium head)

  • 2 cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry lightly using a paper towel

  • 1/3 cup chopped dates 

  • 1 cup roasted cashews 

  • Honey Harissa Dressing
  • 6 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp harissa paste (I like @mina brand)

  • 1/2 cup tahini

  • 2-3 tbsp honey

  • cool water

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp ground chipotle pepper 

  • 1 garlic clove, grated using a microplane grater

  • Kosher salt

Directions

  • Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl halfway with ice and then enough water to fill the bowl 3/4 of the way. In a medium pot, bring 3 qts of water and 2 tbsp Kosher salt to a boil. Once the water boils, add the broccolini and cook until it is bright green (this should happen in 30-40 seconds). Using a spider strainer, remove the broccolini and plunge immediately into the ice bath. Drain the broccolini then place onto a plate lined with a few sheets of paper towel. Blot the broccolini dry gently. It doesn’t need to be bone dry but you don’t want tons of moisture clinging to it.
  • Cut broccolini into 1/4 inch pieces (you’ll want about 3 cups worth) and add to a bowl with the chickpeas and chopped radicchio. Chop cashews coarsely and add about 3/4 cup of them to the salad (reserving the rest for garnish). Add the dates to the salad. Add appx. 1/2 cup Honey Harissa Dressing to the salad and toss. Season salad to taste with Kosher salt and add more dressing as desired. Garnish with the remaining cashews.
