Ingredients
- 1 head Radicchio
- 1 large Orange
- 1 small Lemon
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Almonds, sliced
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the radicchio. Remove any outer wilted leaves, then cut the head into quarters. Remove the core and slice the radicchio into thin strips. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 2
To make the citrus dressing, zest the orange and lemon into a small bowl. Juice the orange and lemon, and add the juice to the bowl.
Step 3
Whisk in the olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper into the citrus juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the sliced radicchio and chopped parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until the radicchio is well coated.
Step 5
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Step 6
Divide the dressed radicchio salad among four serving plates. Sprinkle the toasted almonds and shaved Parmesan cheese over each serving.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a refreshing starter or side dish.
