A Note from Feedfeed

This Salad is a perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and bitter flavors. The juicy grapes provide a burst of freshness, while the sharp Gorgonzola adds a creamy richness to this salad. Finally, the charred radicchio adds a smoky, slightly bitter note to balance out the flavors.

For the Salad

ingredients

  • 1 head radicchio, quartered
  • 3/4 cups red seedless grapes, slivered
  • 1/2 cups candied pecans
  • 1/2 cup gorgonzola
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • Kosher salt and Pepper, to taste

For the Dressing

ingredients

  • 1/3 tablespoons champagne vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Step 1

    Cut the head of radicchio into quarters and massage oil into crevasses, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add to skillet, cut-side down, over high heat and char each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. While your radicchio chars, mix the dressing ingredients in a bowl.
