Radicchio, bean, and feta salad

Indulge in a delightful combination of bitter radicchio, hearty beans, and tangy feta in this refreshing salad bursting with flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

• 1 lemon
• 4 garlic cloves, smashed
• ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 15.5-oz. cans white beans, rinsed
• 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• ¼ cup raw pistachios
• 1 head of radicchio, thinly sliced
• 6 oz. brussels sprouts, trimmed, thinly sliced
• ½ cup coarsely chopped dill, divided
• 8 oz. feta

Instructions:

1. Peel the lemon zest using a vegetable peeler, making sure to avoid getting too much of the white pith. Cut the lemon in half and extract the juice by using a fine-mesh sieve or your hand into a small bowl; get rid of the seeds. Keep the juice aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, and oil over medium-low heat. Stir it continuously to separate the garlic and lower the heat if the oil around the ingredients starts to sizzle excessively. This should take about 10-12 minutes until the mixture becomes fragrant. (Make sure the garlic cooks gently without getting too much color.)
3. Take the saucepan off the heat and mix in the beans, the reserved lemon juice, and salt. Season with black pepper. Stir everything together and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
4. While the beans are resting, toast the pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium heat until they turn golden brown. This should take around 5-8 minutes. Chop the toasted pistachios coarsely after transferring them to a cutting board.
5. In a large bowl, combine the radicchio, brussels sprouts, and ¼ cup of dill. Crumble the feta into large pieces and mix everything together. Add the beans, garlic, and lemon zest using a slotted spoon. Drizzle with the infused oil and mix gently to coat all the ingredients.
6. Arrange the salad on a platter and sprinkle the top with pistachios and the remaining dill.
