Marinated Radicchio Salad With Orange And Walnuts Recipes

CITRUS-WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• Using a small sharp knife, cut the ends off the blood oranges and 3 tangerines, then cut away the peel and white pith. Working over a medium bowl, cut along both sides of each membrane to remove the segments, letting them drop into the bowl; discard any seeds. Squeeze the juice from the remaining tangerine into a small bowl to get about 2 tablespoons.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the walnuts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon pink peppercorns and a pinch of salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Add the vinegar, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon pink peppercorns and a pinch of salt to the bowl with the tangerine juice and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, whisking to combine; season with salt.
• Combine the frisée, endives, radicchio, parsley and blood orange and tangerine segments in a large bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss; season with salt. Top with the toasted walnuts and remaining 1 teaspoon pink peppercorns.

ENDIVE SALAD WITH CANDIED WALNUTS, ORANGE CARAMEL DRESSING AND BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the walnuts on a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast until the nuts are golden brown, really toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Spray a parchment paper-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray. In a large saute pan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a light amber color, 5 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the walnuts in a single layer over the caramel. Spray a rubber spatula with nonstick spray and stir the nuts, quickly but carefully, to coat with the caramel. Transfer the nuts from the pan onto the prepared baking sheet, sprinkling the nuts so they separate as they land on the parchment. Season with salt.
• To the pan with the residual caramel, add the vinegar and orange juice. Warm the pan, whisking until the caramel, vinegar and orange juice are well combined. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the mustard and oil. Adjust the seasoning.
• Arrange the endive and radicchio leaves in a single layer on a family-style large platter. Intersperse the orange segments and walnuts with the endive and radicchio. Season with salt to taste. Drizzle with all of the dressing. Top with the blue cheese and parsley. Serve immediately.

TRICOLORE SALAD WITH ORANGES

Steps:

• Place the shallots in a small shallow bowl and pour the vinegar over them. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate.
• In a large shallow serving bowl, combine the radicchio, endive, arugula, oranges, and olives. Lift the shallots from the vinegar with a slotted spoon, sprinkle them on the salad, and toss lightly (discard the vinegar).
• In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil. Pour enough of the vinaigrette over the salad to moisten well. Sprinkle with one more teaspoon salt, toss well, and taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

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.

RADICCHIO SALAD WITH ANCHOVY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Mash anchovies in a small bowl. Mix in vinegar until well blended. Whisk in oil, fold in capers and season with pepper.
• Place onions in a salad bowl. Add dressing and mix. Fold in avocado, if using. Add radicchio. Gently toss salad. Divide among individual plates or serve at the table.
