Frisée Radicchio And Mixed Green Salad With Shrimp And Mushrooms Recipes

Steps:

• Tear the frisee into bite-size pieces, and place in a large bowl with the radicchio; set aside.

Steps:

• Squeeze juice from 1 lemon half into a large bowl of cold water, then drop same half into water.

• Cut remaining leaves flush with top of artichoke bottom with a sharp knife, then pull out purple leaves and scoop out fuzzy choke with a melon-ball cutter. Rub cut surfaces with remaining lemon half. Trim remaining dark green fibrous parts from base and sides of artichoke with sharp knife, then rub cut surfaces with same lemon half and drop artichoke into the acidulated water. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
