PINK GRAPEFRUIT AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH DATES AND PISTACHIOS



Pink Grapefruit and Radicchio Salad with Dates and Pistachios image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pink or red grapefruits
2 medjool dates, pitted and thinly sliced
1/2 medium shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
Fine sea salt, to taste
1 small head radicchio, halved and cored
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachio nuts
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Slice the top and bottom off one of the grapefruits. Stand it up on a cut side and, using a small sharp knife, slice off the peel and pith, following the curve of the fruit. Save the peels (there should be some red fruit clinging to the pith). Repeat with the other grapefruit. Slice both grapefruits into quarter-inch-thick rounds and arrange on a platter. Evenly sprinkle the dates on top.
  • Squeeze the juice from the grapefruit peel into a small bowl. You should have about a tablespoon. If there is less, squeeze some from one of the grapefruit slices. Add the shallot and a pinch of salt; let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the radicchio and add to a bowl. Add the shallot and grapefruit juice and toss to combine. Toss in 3 tablespoons of the oil.
  • Sprinkle grapefruit slices with salt and drizzle with the remaining oil. Place a mound of the radicchio in the middle of the grapefruit, leaving a border of the fruit exposed. Sprinkle with pistachios and black pepper and serve immediately.

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together vinegar, honey, and mustard and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified.

  • If you don't have any pecans, you can use walnuts or almonds instead.
  • For a tangy dressing, use a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and honey.
