Ingredients

• 1 medium head Radicchio
• 1 large, juiced and zested Orange
• 1 juiced Lemon
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 small, thinly sliced Red onion
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the radicchio. Remove any wilted outer leaves and cut the head into quarters. Remove the core from each quarter and then slice the radicchio into thin strips. Rinse under cold water to remove any bitterness and pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced radicchio and red onion.

Step 3

To make the citrus dressing, first zest the orange and then juice it into a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, extra-virgin olive oil, honey, and black pepper. Whisk together until the dressing is well emulsified and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the citrus dressing over the radicchio and red onion. Toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the salad for added freshness and a burst of color.

Step 6

Serve immediately or let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy your low sodium radicchio salad with a citrusy twist!
