How to make Chopped salad with shallot vinaigrette, feta, and dill

1. Mix the shallot, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vinegar in a large bowl. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then stir in the oil. Set the vinaigrette aside.

2. Meanwhile, combine a palmful of salt with a medium bowl of ice water and add the peas. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry to ensure they remain super crisp.

3. Add the peas, radishes, cucumbers, romaine, and radicchio to the bowl with the reserved vinaigrette. Toss well to coat all the ingredients.

4. Gently fold in the feta and dill, then season with salt and pepper. Toss again to combine.

5. Transfer the salad to a platter for serving.

6. Note: The vinaigrette can be prepared up to 6 hours in advance. Cover and chill it in the fridge, then bring it to room temperature before using.
