Radicchio, Fennel & Orange Salad with Pistachios

A bright, bitter, sweet salad with crisp fennel, juicy orange, toasted pistachios, and caramelised balsamic dressing. This pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as part of a shared feast. We served it recently with lamb koftas and tzatziki and it paired really well!

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 head radicchio

• 1 fennel bulb

• 2 oranges

• ⅓ cup toasted pistachios, roughly chopped

• Small handful flat-leaf parsley leaves

For the dressing

• 3 tbsp caramelised balsamic dressing (we love this one)

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• Juice of ¼ orange

• Pinch of sea salt

• Cracked black pepper

Method

1. In the bottom of a large salad bowl, whisk together the caramelised balsamic dressing, olive oil, orange juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.

2. Trim the radicchio and tear or slice into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the fennel bulb, reserving a few fennel fronds for garnish if desired.

3. Peel the oranges and slice into rounds or segments.

4. Arrange the radicchio, fennel, and orange on top of the salad dressing and toss. Scatter over the pistachios and parsley leaves.
