This winter chopped salad from GlowwithElla (Ella Henry) makes the most of the season’s prettiest produce—radicchio, celery, dates, and pistachios, all tossed in a bright lemon vinaigrette. It’s endlessly adaptable: swap in pink apples, different lettuce varieties, or your favorite cheese and nuts. Make it ahead by prepping the components, then mix and match throughout the week for easy lunches and dinners. For an extra crunch, use up the rest of a day-old sourdough loaf by making homemade croutons to go on top.

Directions
- Step 1
Prep the ingredients: Chop the radicchio, celery, apple, dates, and dill into bite-sized pieces and add them to a large bowl. Grate the parmesan (or manchego) and toss it in. Roughly chop the pistachios or leave them whole for extra crunch and add on top.
- Step 2
Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, mustard, and lemon juice until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Step 3
Assemble the salad: Drizzle the dressing over the chopped ingredients and toss well to coat. Top with diced avocado and homemade sourdough croutons (if using) and any protein. Serve immediately and enjoy each heavenly bite.
