Radicchio Stone Fruit Salad

Radicchio Stone Fruit Salad

By Alison Carroll

Walnuts can get bitter if toasted too long, so remove them from the oven as soon as they turn golden brown.

Ingredients

8 servings

  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 2 small heads of radicchio, leaves separated
  • 4 ripe peaches or nectarines, sliced, or 8 apricots, quartered
  • ½ cup parsley leaves with tender stems, divided
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, divided
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • ½ cup crumbled sheep’s-milk cheese or chèvre

Recipe

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Toast walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 7–10 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
  2. Combine radicchio, peaches, parsley, half of scallions, and walnuts in a large bowl. Drizzle in oil and lemon juice and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add cheese and remaining scallions, parsley, and walnuts to salad and gently toss again to combine.

This hearty, lemon-brightened risotto is a welcome meal for cold days. While it’s not traditional, I like to add a bit of quinoa and walnuts to the mix for a bit of a nutritional boost. Pictured here with simply- grilled mushrooms and chives. The mushrooms were tossed with a splash of olive oil and smashed under a cast iron skillet on a hot grill pan until golden.

Smoky Grilled Eggplant with Feta and Mint

Smoky Grilled Eggplant with Feta and Mint

by Alison Carroll
It took me a long time to realize the secret to better grilled eggplant is to reverse things a bit and season it after grilling. Marinating the sponge-like vegetable post-grill means it fully absorbs and locks in flavors, which here is a savory combination of olive oil, sherry vinegar, garlic, and smoked paprika. Finish things off with crumbled feta and torn fresh mint for the ultimate summer side.
