This is One Heartbreaker of A Radicchio Salad
This simple salad is deliciously crisp, flecked with salty, rich Manchego cheese, and glossed with a saucy chopped lemon vinaigrette.
Radicchio, Apple and Manchego Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette
Serving Size: 4 people
Ingredients:
2 heads radicchio, halved and cores removed
1 Honeycrisp apple, cored and thinly sliced or cubed
4 oz Manchego cheese, grated
2 oz Manchego cheese, grated and divided in half
Optional additions: candied walnuts, minced chiles, fresh mint or parsley, shaved red onion, chickpeas, capers, crushed pistachios
Vinaigrette:
½ cup olive oil
1 lemon, one half juiced and one half roughly chopped
¼ cup balsamic or white wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon honey
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions:
•Place ice and water in a large bowl to create an ice bath. Cut the radicchio into quarter wedges and add separated leaves to ice bath for 10-15 minutes to crisp. Spin radicchio in a salad spinner until dry and reserve.
•Whisk vinaigrette ingredients plus half the Manchego cheese together in the bottom of a salad bowl, then add in radicchio, apple and toss to combine. Top with the remaining Manchego cheese.
•Season with additional salt and pepper as needed and enjoy!
