Time 1h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups water
1 cup uncooked wild rice
salt to taste
1 medium head radicchio, cut into wedges

1 ounce crumbled goat cheese, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring water, wild rice, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Drain any excess liquid, fluff rice with a fork, and cook uncovered 5 minutes more. Set aside.

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:

  • Choose the right radicchio: Look for heads of radicchio that are firm and have a deep red color. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the radicchio properly: Cut the radicchio in half lengthwise and remove the core. Then, slice the radicchio into thin strips.
  • Grill the radicchio: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the radicchio slices with olive oil and grill them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and softened.
  • Assemble the salad: Combine the grilled radicchio with your favorite salad greens, vegetables, and dressing. Some good options include arugula, spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a vinaigrette dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Grilled radicchio salad is best served fresh. Enjoy it as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

Grilled radicchio salad is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. The slightly bitter flavor of the radicchio is balanced by the sweetness of the grilled vegetables and the tanginess of the dressing. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
