Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Radicchio
- 3 heads Endive
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Walnuts (optional, toasted)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (shaved)
Instructions
Separate and discard any wilted outer leaves from the radicchio and endive. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Cut the radicchio into quarters and remove the core. Chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Trim the bases of the endive heads, separate the leaves, and slice them into 2-inch sections. Combine the radicchio and endive in a large salad bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the radicchio and endive. Toss gently to ensure all leaves are evenly coated.
If using walnuts, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, then let them cool. Add the walnuts to the salad, along with shaved Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crisp, citrusy Radicchio and Endive Salad!
