Radicchio Salad With Oranges And Olives Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over small bowl and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release segments. Squeeze membranes to release juice. Combine 1/4 cup orange juice and vinegar in small bowl (reserve remaining juice for another use). Whisk in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss mâche, frisée, and radicchio in large bowl. Add orange segments, sliced red onion, and Kalamata olives. Drizzle orange dressing over salad and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Slice the head of radicchio into thin slices. Remove stems from arugula. Wash under cold water and spin dry. Slice roasted orange bell pepper into strips.
• In a small bowl combine juices and mustard. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together olive oil and vinegar in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. It should be tart but not over-vinegary. Taste and add a little more olive oil if necessary.
• To peel the citrus fruit, use a small serrated knife. First, cut off a thin slice of peel from the top and bottom of the orange, so it can sit flat and securely on the cutting board. Use a sawing motion to take off the peel, cutting from top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit. Remove only the peel and white pith, not the flesh of the orange. It should now be perfectly spherical and naked. Peel remaining oranges and grapefruit in this fashion.
• Carefully slice peeled citrus crosswise. Arrange slices on a large serving platter in a random pattern, letting them overlap a bit here and there. Scatter onion, fennel and celery over top. Dot the surface with olives. Surround with salad leaves, if using.
• Whisk vinaigrette, and spoon evenly over the salad. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt and serve.
