Instructions

  1. Remove core of radicchio, wash and arrange leaves on large platter.
  2. Toast 1/4 cup pignoli nuts over medium-low heat being careful not to burn. Zest one orange and rough chop the strands.
  3. Thoroughly mix 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 fresh squeezed orange juice, 1/2 cup minced parsley, 1 tsp kosher salt and a 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Spoon some of the dressing over the radicchio leaves. Sprinkle the toasted pignoli nuts and orange zest all over the salad. Finally with a vegetable peeler shave the Parmigiano Reggiano on top. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Do not overdress the salad.  This recipe makes one cup of the vinaigrette which can be served on the side or stored for up to 3 days.
  • Pine nuts tend to burn fast.  Keep an eye on them at all times when toasting.
  • Radicchio needs a lot of salt to cut the bitterness, but adjust according to personal preferences.
