Marinated Radicchio Salad With Orange And Walnuts Recipes

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.

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.

MARINATED RADICCHIO SALAD WITH ORANGE AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, slice orange between membranes to release segments into a medium bowl; set aside. Squeeze orange membranes over a small bowl to release juices; measure 3 Tbsp. into a medium bowl (drink the rest!). Whisk in oil, vinegar, and orange zest; season with salt and pepper. Add shallot to vinaigrette and let sit for 5 minutes to soften. Add orange segments, radicchio, and parsley; toss to coat. Divide among plates and top each salad with walnuts.

RADICCHIO, WATERCRESS AND WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegars and walnut oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Carefully peel off the leaves of the head of radicchio. Select the four best leaves and place one on each of four plates. Finely shred the rest into strips 1/4-inch wide.
• In a bowl, combine the shredded radicchio with the watercress. Whisk the dressing again, pour it over the radicchio and watercress and toss. Divide this mixture over the whole radicchio leaves. Scatter the walnuts and cheese over each serving. Serve at once.

RADICCHIO AND ORANGE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread slivered almonds on a baking sheet. Toast in oven, tossing occasionally, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes; let cool.
• Core radicchio heads; cut or tear into 1-inch pieces. Combine in a large bowl with the finely grated zest and juice of 1 orange, golden raisins, olive oil, red-wine vinegar, sugar, and toasted almonds.
• Season with coarse salt and ground pepper; toss to combine. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered, up to 1 day.
