Ingredients

For the Citrus Dijon Vinaigrette:

  • ½ cup olive oil, extra-virgin
  • ¼ cup grapefruit juice, or champagne vinegar, white balsamic vinegar, or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons grainy dijon mustard , such as Country Grey Poupon Mustard
  • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste

For the salad:

  • 1 small head radicchio, torn or roughly chopped (about 4 cups)
  • 1 small ruby red grapefruit , segmented (reserve any juice that comes from the grapefruit and squeeze the flesh and peels into the vinaigrette. I typically get about ¼ cup of juice.
  • 1 small avocado, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup walnuts, crumbled
  • 2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup red onion, or shallot, thinly sliced
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Chef's Knife
  • Paring Knife
  • Serving Platter or Large Bowl

Instructions

Make the vinaigrette:

  • Combine the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a small mason jar and give it a good shake. Taste and season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • It's totally optional, but I like the add the slices of red onion into the vinaigrette while I make the salad.

Assemble the salad:

  • Now, this baby is quite easy to pull all together. So, I've made a short reel over on Instagram if you'd care to see it assembled, click here.
  • Gather a large platter and arrange the radicchio, grapefruit segments, avocado, walnuts and blue cheese on top.
  • Fork out the red onions and drizzle the desired amount of vinaigrette on top of the salad. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
  • Serve immediately with the remaining vinaigrette on the side for anyone that may need more.
