Kale And Radicchio Salad With Raspberry Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix kale, 1/4 cup olive oil and the salt. Massage with your hands 2 to 3 minutes or until kale softens slightly.
• In blender or food processor, place Yogurt Vinaigrette ingredients. Cover; blend or process until smooth.
• Divide kale among 4 plates. Drizzle with vinaigrette; top with granola and dried cranberries. Pass any remaining dressing.

Steps:

• To a blender, add the Italian dressing, 1/2 of the raspberries, and the sugar substitute, and blend for a minute until smooth.
• Line a bowl or plate with whole radicchio leaves and pile high the lettuce mix in the center. Cut a tomato into 4 wedges and place around the plate in a starburst fashion with a heart of palm stick in between each. Sprinkle with minced bell peppers. Pour raspberry vinaigrette over the salad and top with a few fresh raspberries. Serve.

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Place the raspberries, olive oil, lemon juice, and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a large salad bowl, mix together the lettuce, arugula, and pumpkin seeds. Just before serving, add the vinaigrette and toss until all the ingredients are coated.
• Cook's Note: To toast the pumpkin seeds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven until lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Cool completely before using.

Steps:

• For the salad: Place the salad greens in a large bowl. Mix in the cranberries, walnuts, mandarin oranges, grape tomatoes and feta.
• For the vinaigrette: Combine the raspberries, vinegars, sugar and mustard in a blender until smooth. Slowly stream in the oil until combined.
• Toss the salad with the vinaigrette before serving.

Steps:

• 1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, juniper berries, caraway seeds, mustard seeds, thyme, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar and salt are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let sit for 15 minutes then strain into a small bowl, discarding the solids. Slowly whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup oil until emulsified.
• 2. Heat your grill to high for direct grilling.
• 3. Brush the cut sides of the radicchio with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, cut side down, until golden brown and slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush the tops with oil, flip over the radicchio, and continue grilling until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the grill. Thinly slice the radicchio and put it in a bowl.
• 4. Remove the kale from the water and shake gently to get some of the water off. Season with salt and pepper and place on the grill. Cook until slightly wilted and charred on all sides, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from the grill. Thinly slice and add to the radicchio.
• 5. Add the dressing to the radicchio and kale and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
