Description

This elegant warm salad brings together the smoky richness of turkey with the tangy bite of marinated artichokes and earthy mushrooms. The dish is tossed in a flavorful dressing infused with garlic, thyme, and basil, creating a complex Mediterranean profile. It’s hearty enough for a light dinner yet refined for entertaining. Perfect for picnics, lunch parties, or as a sophisticated side dish for holiday meals. The combination of textures—from tender hearts of palm to crisp radicchio—makes every bite interesting. Simple to assemble with pantry staples, this recipe offers a fresh twist on traditional cold salads.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a heavy Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add garlic, thyme, basil, and red pepper flakes; sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add mushrooms, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until mushrooms are almost tender and have released their liquid, about 4 minutes.
  5. Transfer the mushroom mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
  6. Add the drained artichoke hearts and hearts of palm to the bowl; toss gently to combine.
  7. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. (Can be prepared up to 2 days ahead; cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  8. Drain the salad mixture thoroughly in a colander or sieve to remove excess liquid.
  9. Return the drained mixture to the bowl.
  10. Add the thinly sliced smoked turkey and all but 1/4 cup of the chive mayonnaise; toss well to coat.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
  12. To serve, arrange radicchio leaves around the edge of half of each plate and endive leaves around the edge of the other half.
  13. Mound the salad mixture in the center of each plate.
  14. Drape remaining turkey slices over the salad mounds.
  15. Top each serving with a dollop of the reserved mayonnaise.
  16. Garnish with fresh chives and additional endive leaves if desired.
