Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Radicchio
- 1 Orange
- 1 Grapefruit
- 1 Lemon
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Begin by preparing the radicchio. Remove any wilted outer leaves and slice the head into thin ribbons. Place the sliced radicchio into a large salad bowl.
Peel the orange and grapefruit, then use a sharp knife to segment each citrus fruit by cutting between the membrane walls. Add the citrus segments to the bowl with the radicchio.
Juice the lemon and set aside 2 tablespoons of juice for the dressing.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, honey, salt, black pepper, and the reserved 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients together until well emulsified.
Pour the citrus dressing over the radicchio and citrus segments in the salad bowl. Gently toss the salad to ensure even coating.
Roughly chop the fresh mint leaves and sprinkle them over the salad.
Serve the salad immediately, either as a main course or an accompanying side dish.
