An Asian-inspired dressing with a base of Italian-inspired ingredients makes up this unique salad for two. Crunchy sweet Romaine, slightly bitter radicchio and uniquely tangy hearts of palm pair well against the lush deep flavor of sesame and the zing of the mirin in the dressing. Ready in only 10 minutes, this salad makes a wonderful start to a larger meal or, when topped with some grilled chicken slices or a piece of roasted salmon, a light and filling dinner. Amp the flavor of the dressing by choosing a toasted sesame seed oil. This salad multiplies easily for larger gatherings. To make ahead, toss the lettuces together and reserve the hearts of palm and dressing for last minute tossing to preserve the crunch of the lettuces.
