Ingredients

  • Divided into three portions, a generous amount of olive oil is joined by white balsamic vinegar in a ratio of two tablespoons. A hint of Dijon mustard is added, followed by a sprinkling of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. The star of the dish, a whole head of radicchio, is paired with coarsely chopped pistachio nuts and crumbled blue cheese, each measured at two tablespoons.

Step 1

Prepare the outdoor grill by preheating it to medium heat and lightly greasing the grate to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper, whisking them together until well mixed. This flavorful dressing will enhance the dish, so set it aside for later use.

Step 3

Take a radicchio head and slice it into 4 wedges. Brush the wedges with a tablespoon of olive oil and add a sprinkle of salt for seasoning.

Step 4

Once ready, place the wedges on the heated grill and cook until they develop a light char, typically about 3 to 4 minutes per side. When done, transfer the grilled radicchio to a serving plate.

Step 5

To elevate the dish, top the radicchio wedges with a generous handful of pistachios and crumbled blue cheese. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad for a burst of flavor.

Step 6

For the best experience, serve the grilled radicchio immediately while it's still warm and the flavors are at their peak. Enjoy this delightful and nutritious dish with loved ones!
