Balsamic radicchio, grape and manchego salad
Hands-down one of the quickest salads you'll put together this Christmas and one of the tastiest. An excellent marriage of crunch and sweet and salt and soft, all covered in manchego cheese snow.
Ingredients
Dressing
3 tbsp quality balsamic glaze
juice of ½ lemon
5 tbsp olive oil
Salad
150g radicchio leaves
1½ cups red grapes, halved
½ red onion, finely sliced on a mandolin
arils of ½ pomegranate
salt and pepper to season
80g-100g manchego
Method
1. Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
2. Spread the radicchio leaves on a large serving platter. Top with cut grapes, onion and pomegranate arils. Season generously with salt and pepper.
3. Spoon over the dressing, enough to coat the salad here and there in pockets of balsamic and oil.
4. Using a microplane, grate the manchego generously over the salad and serve immediately.
