Ingredients

  • 2 heads radicchio
  • 3 tablespoon 45 mL extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon 2 mL pepper, freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon 2 mL sea salt or salt
  • 1 tablespoon 15 mL balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar or your preference)

Instructions

  • Brush with half of the oil.
  • Sprinkle with half of the sea salt and half of the freshly ground pepper.
  • Grill the radicchio on high heat, uncovered, turning often.
  • The colour will change and ideally a nice 'char' will form around the edges.
  • Remove and set aside.
  • Whisk all but the cheese with the remaining olive oil.
  • Toss radicchio pieces in a bowl.
  • Marinate for 10-15 minutes. Drain and reserve marinade
