A beautiful radicchio salad that will brighten up any winter table. Clementines and walnuts complement the bitter radicchio leaves perfectly in this delicious, seasonal salad. Suitable for vegans.

This radicchio salad is astonishingly colourful. The bright pink of the radicchio leaves combined with orange clementines and bright green parsley is just stunning.

A radicchio salad like this one will add a much-needed splash of colour to a winter meal.

I adore this salad because it:

  • is suitable for vegans
  • looks beautiful on the table
  • is a great use of seasonal produce
  • can be adapted easily eg switch walnuts for another nut or seeds

What is radicchio?

Radicchio is a bitter tasting leaf vegetable. It’s a member of the chicory family and is sometimes known as Italian chicory.

Its leaves are a beautiful pink or red colour, with white veins running through them.

Find out more about how radicchio is grown or discover how to cook radicchio.

When is radicchio in season?

The main radicchio season is mid-winter to spring - roughly November to February. However, it can often be found outside of these months.

How to make radicchio taste less bitter

The bitter taste of radicchio reduces if you roast or grill it. Try my balsamic roasted radicchio.

It also responds well to being combined with other flavours. Sweet balsamic vinegar works well with radicchio. Salty flavours are also good.

Ingredients

To make this salad you will need:

  • radicchio 
  • walnuts (sub other nuts or seeds eg pumpkin seeds)
  • clementines (other small oranges can be used eg mandarins)
  • flat leaf parsley
  • olive oil
  • white wine vinegar (cider vinegar or lemon juice can also be used)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
