A maple dressing spiked with miso for a hit of rich, savory umami dresses tender, peppery leaves of arugula and firm, bitter leaves of radicchio. The color contrast is striking with the soft green of arugula, hints of pink and purple in the radicchio, psychedelic blood orange, and the deep garnet red of beets. Pre-cooked beets are a wonderful kitchen shortcut, especially for salads like this one. Looking for even more shortcuts? Shop for already-shaved parmesan cheese.
