Gluten-Free, Vegan, Serves 6
For the salad:
- 1 head of pink radicchio, thinly sliced
- 1 large pink grapefruit, sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
For the dressing:
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh grapefruit juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Wash and dry the pink radicchio leaves. Remove any damaged outer leaves and slice the radicchio thinly. Peel the pink grapefruit and remove the segments, discarding any seeds or pith. Alternatively, you can slice the grapefruit into thin rounds. Rinse the fresh blueberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced pink radicchio, grapefruit segments, fresh blueberries, and chopped mint leaves. Toss gently to combine. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lemon juice, and maple syrup or agave syrup until well combined. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad mixture in the large mixing bowl. Toss the salad gently to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing. Transfer the dressed pink radicchio grapefruit blueberry citrus salad to a serving platter or individual salad bowls. If desired, garnish the salad with chopped almonds or walnuts for added texture and crunch. Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish.
