Radicchio Salad with Blood Orange, Hazelnuts, and Parm

Although radicchio has a bitter flavor, especially raw, the sweet citrus and hazelnuts really balance this salad nicely. Love the color combination too. Yum.

What's in it:

blood orange

radicchio

butter or red lettuce

hazelnuts

parmigiano cheese

olive oil

white wine vinegar

salt + pepper

How to make it:

Dressing: Grate zest from orange, and mix with olive oil, white wine vinegar, salt and pepper. If you have another orange, you can add some juice here too.

Salad: Toss radicchio (cut into 2-inch pieces), lettuce, and hazelnuts in dressing. Peel blood orange and cut crosswise into 1/4 inch sections (wheels or triangles); add to top of salad. Grate fresh parmigiano cheese over top et voila!
