Ingredients

2 tsp Dijon mustard

2 Tbsp finely chopped capers

1 Tbsp caper liquor (the liquid from the caper jar), or 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 witloof and/or radicchio

1 bag bitter greens, such as watercress, rocket, or baby kale.

Method

In a small bowl, combine the mustard, capers, vinegar, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If a little thick, loosen with 1-2 tablespoons water.

Separate the witloof leaves and place them into a large serving bowl, along with the watercress. Add enough dressing to coat and serve immediately.
