Ingredients

• 1 head Radicchio
• 2 whole Mandarin oranges
• 1 whole Lemon
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Whole grain mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 0.33 cup Slivered almonds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the radicchio. Remove any outer leaves that are wilted. Slice the radicchio in half, remove the core from each half, and then chop the rest into thin strips. Transfer the chopped radicchio into a large bowl.

Step 2

Peel the mandarin oranges and separate them into segments. Set aside a few segments for garnishing and add the rest to the bowl with the radicchio.

Step 3

Make the citrus dressing. Squeeze the juice from the lemon into a small mixing bowl, making sure to strain out any seeds.

Step 4

Add olive oil, honey, whole grain mustard, sea salt, and black pepper to the lemon juice. Whisk the mixture vigorously until emulsified and smooth.

Step 5

Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the radicchio bowl along with the slivered almonds.

Step 6

Drizzle the citrus dressing over the salad ingredients in the bowl. Toss everything together gently until well combined and the dressing evenly coats the ingredients.

Step 7

Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 8

Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with the reserved mandarin segments.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the freshest taste experience.
