Grilled Radicchio Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place radicchio in a large bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and salt; toss to coat.
• Whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, mustard, and vinegar in a separate bowl. Set aside.
• Grill radicchio on the preheated grill for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle reserved dressing over the top. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut the radicchio in quarters lengthwise, being sure to keep some of the stem attached to each quarter. Trim off any dark bits of stem. Submerge the radicchio quarters in ice water for 1 hour to remove some bitterness. Put a plate on top of the radicchio to keep them under water.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients except the mozzarella. Mix well.
• Prepare a hot fire in your grill, or heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Drain the radicchio and place them on paper towels to absorb remaining water. Open up the leaves and spoon the olive oil mixture inside. Place the radicchio quarters on a baking sheet and pour the remaining marinade mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Grill the radicchio until browned on the outside but still raw in the center, 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Be careful, as the oil mixture may flame up.
• When the radicchio begins to brown, pull from the grill, open up a section of each portion and place a slice of mozzarella inside. Place quarters back onto the sheet pan and place the pan directly on the grill for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Drizzle any leftover dressing over the top of the grilled radicchio and serve warm.
• If making radicchio in advance: Before the party, have the radicchio drained and marinated in the vinaigrette in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• For the Lemon-Lime Dressing: Add the yogurt, lemon and lime zest and juice and the honey to a small bowl. Whisk together well and season to taste with salt and pepper. Reserve in the fridge if not using right away.
• For the Salad: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium. Place the cantaloupe and radicchio on baking sheets and brush with the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the cantaloupe and radicchio on the grill (you may have to do this in batches) and grill the cantaloupe until you see grill marks, 1 to 2 minutes a side. Grill the radicchio until soft and browned on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Cut the cantaloupe into cubes.
• Arrange a bed of baby arugula on a platter, top with the grilled cantaloupe and radicchio and drizzle with the dressing.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• In a medium bowl, combine the anchovy paste, honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Whisk until smooth and combined.

• Brush the radicchio on both sides with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill until charred in spots and slightly wilted, turning once, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the shrimp with a splash of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Grill, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Divide the radicchio and shrimp among small plates, drizzle with vinaigrette and sprinkle with parsley leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat coals.
• Cut the radicchio heads in half. Brush all over with half the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Place the radicchio on a rack and grill, turning once, until the leaves are lightly charred and wilted. Sprinkle with the remaining oil, vinegar and thyme leaves and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Light a grill and preheat for at least 10 minutes or preheat a grill pan. Brush the cut sides of the radicchio and fennel with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the radicchio with one of the cut sides down and the fennel over moderately high heat until the radicchio is charred and the fennel has dark brown grill marks, about 2 minutes. Turn the radicchio so the other cut sides are down and flip the fennel and grill for about 2 minutes longer.
• Transfer the radicchio and fennel to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Thinly slice the radicchio crosswise, discarding the core. Slice the fennel lengthwise 1/3 inch thick and discard the core.
• In a bowl, whisk the vinegar with the mustard and honey. Gradually add the 1/4 cup of olive oil in a thin stream, whisking. Add the radicchio, fennel and parsley leaves to the dressing and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the salads to plates. Using a vegetable peeler, shave some pecorino on top, then serve.

Grill vegetables until crisp-tender and browned in spots, turning occasionally, about 3 minutes. Cut beans in half crosswise. Coarsely chop radicchio. Return vegetables to same bowl. Add greens and Asiago cheese. Toss with enough dressing to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
