Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus additional for drizzling
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon Sherry wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
6 green onions, trimmed
1 head of romaine lettuce, quartered lengthwise with some core still attached to each piece
1 large head of red leaf lettuce, quartered lengthwise with some core still attached to each piece
1 medium head of radicchio, quartered through core, with some core still attached to each piece

Steps:

  • Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil and next 4 ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange green onions, lettuces, and radicchio on baking sheets. Drizzle lightly with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill vegetables until beginning to wilt, 1 minute per side for red leaf lettuce, 1 1/2 minutes per side for romaine, 2 minutes per side for green onions, and 3 minutes per side for radicchio. Transfer vegetables to baking sheets.
  • Cut cores from all grilled greens. Cut grilled radicchio crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips. Cut grilled lettuces crosswise into 2-inch-wide strips; chop green onions. Place vegetables in large bowl. Drizzle with dressing; toss to coat.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the radicchio. This will help to prevent the radicchio from bruising and will also make it easier to cut into thin, even slices.
  • If you don't have a lemon, you can use another citrus fruit, such as an orange or grapefruit. Just be sure to adjust the amount of sugar in the dressing accordingly.
  • Add some chopped nuts or seeds to the salad for a bit of extra crunch and flavor. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good options.
  • Serve the salad immediately after it is made. This will help to prevent the radicchio from wilting.

Conclusion:

Radicchio salad with chopped lemon dressing is a light, refreshing, and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The bitterness of the radicchio is balanced by the sweetness of the dressing, and the crunchy texture of the radicchio is a nice contrast to the smooth texture of the dressing. This salad is also very easy to make, so it is a great option for a weeknight meal.
