radicchio + strawberry {salad}
Prep
Total
Yield 4
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped radicchio leaves
- 10 large strawberries
- balsamic vinegar
- Orange olive oil (or else extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice)
- 1/4 cup chopped, toasted, hazelnuts
- Salt, pepper
Instructions
- Try to find loose leaved radicchio if possible. Using a knife, slice it into half inch ribbons and let it soak for 15 minutes in cold water. A good soak makes the radicchio slightly less bitter.
- Drain and dry the leaves and lay them on a platter.
- Quarter or slice the strawberries and mix them with the radicchio.
- Scatter the roughly chopped hazelnuts on top.
- Dress the salad with the balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Toss and serve immediately.
