Ingredients :

Vinaigrette :

•     1 medium clove garlic
•     1/4 teaspoon salt
•     5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
•     6 tablespoons fresh orange juice, plus more to taste
•     1/4 cup white-wine vinegar or red-wine vinegar
•     1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salad :

•     1 15-ounce can cannellini or other white beans, rinsed and drained
•     2 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken breast (see Tip)
•     2 cups diced zucchini and/or summer squash (about 2 small)
•     1 1/2 cups diced celery
•     1/4 cup finely diced ricotta salata, halloumi (see Shopping Tip, above) or feta  cheese
•     1/3 cup chopped, well-drained, oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes (optional)
•     1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil, plus whole basil leaves for garnish
•     Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste (optional)
•     2 cups torn escarole or romaine lettuce
•     2 cups torn radicchio leaves

Preparation :

   1. To prepare vinaigrette: Peel the garlic and smash with the side of a chef’s
      knife. Using a fork, mash the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl to
      form a coarse paste. Whisk in 5 tablespoons oil. Add 6 tablespoons orange
      juice, vinegar and mustard; whisk until well blended. Taste and whisk in up to
      4 tablespoons more juice to mellow the flavor; season with more salt, if
      desired. Set aside at room temperature.

    2. To prepare salad: Combine beans, chicken, zucchini (and/or summer squash),
       celery, cheese and sun-dried tomatoes (if using) in a large bowl until well
       blended. Add chopped basil and 3/4 cup vinaigrette; toss until combined. Taste
       and season with salt and/or pepper, if desired.

    3. Toss the remaining vinaigrette with escarole (or romaine) and radicchio in a
       medium bowl. Serve the salad on the greens, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
