Radicchio Salad With Walnut Dressing Food

RADICCHIO SALAD WITH WALNUT DRESSING

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. (If using olive oil, you may want to warm the oil and walnuts first over low heat in a small pan for a few minutes. Then let cool to room temperature to infuse the oil with flavor.)
• Add radicchio to dressing, and toss. Divide among 4 serving plates, and sprinkle with walnuts.

ENDIVE, RADICCHIO AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Cut 1 1/2 inches from the root end of the 2 endives and the radicchio head, and cut these root end pieces into 1/2-inch chunks. (You should have 3 about cups.) Reserve the pointed endive leaf tips and the radicchio leaves for use later in the recipe. Combine the root end chunks with the shredded carrot and nuts in a bowl.
• Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, then add the dressing to the endive and radicchio pieces, carrots, and nuts. Toss well.
• Arrange the radicchio leaves attractively on four plates, and spoon the dressed mixture into the center of the leaves. Arrange the endive leaf tips so they stand, pointed tips up, next to one another all around the dressed salad. Serve immediately.

RADICCHIO, FENNEL, AND ARUGULA SALAD WITH ROQUEFORT AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Make the dressing:
• In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, the vinegar, the mustard, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified.
• In a bowl toss together the radicchio, the fennel, the walnuts, the Roquefort, and the dressing. On each of 8 plates arrange some of the arugula and divide the radicchio mixture among the plates.
