A gorgeous radicchio salad recipe made with avocado, apple, crumbled blue cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Radicchio Salad Recipe.
Radicchio might not be your go-to salad base but it’s worth adding to your rotation. It has a naturally spicy, slightly bitter flavor that pairs well with sweet apple, and cool, creamy avocado. The balance is lovely. Add savory blue cheese for richness and toasted walnuts for warmth. And you’ve got a killer salad with so much flavor and texture. It doesn’t hurt that radicchio is the prettiest ruby red either.
Because all of these ingredients are so flavorful on their own. I keep the salad dressing simple with a balsamic vinaigrette made with balsamic vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Perfect.
