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 (divided in half)

1 lemon, one half juiced and one half roughly chopped
¼ cup balsamic or white wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
