Servings: 4

Ingredients

Radicchio (2 cups, chopped)
Endive (2 cups, chopped)
Orange (1, segmented)
Grapefruit (1, segmented)
Red onion (1/4, thinly sliced)
Toasted walnuts (1/2 cup, roughly chopped)
Extra virgin olive oil (1/4 cup)
Lemon juice (2 tablespoons)
Honey (1 tablespoon)
Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Freshly ground pepper (to taste)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the chopped radicchio and endive to form the salad base.
Carefully segment the orange and grapefruit by cutting away the peel and pith, then slicing between the membranes to release the citrus segments. Add these vibrant segments to the bowl along with the thinly sliced red onion and toasted walnuts.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined and emulsified to create the citrus vinaigrette.
Drizzle the citrus vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to combine all the ingredients, ensuring that the dressing evenly coats the salad.
For the freshest taste, serve immediately, or chill for about 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
