Radicchio Salad with Frisee and Apples
The other night I had the privilege of eating this amazing gluten free salad at Frasca, a fabulous restaurant in downtown Boulder. Their salad however, had salami, while mine, for a little hit of protein, contains walnuts.
I served this salad with dinner Sunday night while my 3 boys (2 children and husband) watched the NFL playoffs. Dinner (and this salad) were a hit (even though the Jets lost).
1 head radicchio, thinly sliced
½ head frisee, sliced
1 apple, cut into matchsticks (I used Braeburn)
olive oil
, to tastebalsamic vinegar, to taste
½ cup walnuts, toasted
- In a large salad bowl, combine radicchio frisee and apple
- Drizzle salad with olive oil and vinegar and toss
- Toss walnuts over salad
- Serve
Valentine's Day is coming up and I will be teaching a Valentine's Day gluten free, dairy free cooking class at Bauman College on Wednesday, February 10th in Boulder --hope to see you there!
I want to give a special thanks to those participating in the forums and a special shout out to forums member Lisa Stafford, who actively answers the questions of so many other community members.

Wow Elena this looks delicious. For those of you looking for wonderful extra virgin olive oils and amazing balsamic vinegars with no sulfites please check out this web site fromolivesandgrapes@me.com
I just purchased the fig balsamic and it is wonderful drizzled on fresh tomatoes.

Lovely salad. My family would like this very much. Thank you for sharing your recipe. =)
That looks so deliciously fresh! (I just ate half a block of Lindt 90% in one go, so my body is absolutely craving vegetables right now... :P)
J! E! T! S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
My boys couldn't pull it pass Peyton this time.
A little heartbroken, not gonna lie. :(
But at least this salad will cheer me up.
Look out for next year!
What a beautiful salad! It's a work of art, and it sounds delish!
what? olive oil and vinegars contain sulfites?
Can't wait to make this one! It was great meeting you on Saturday. Was wondering what you were eating/drinking?:) My 11 year old daughter made Purple Velvet Torte for a third time. We like to serve it and 'trick' people. Hope you have a great week!
Hi LearningMama,
Was so great to meet you too!
I was drinking a blender salad --lots of greens and other good stuff.
Hope you are staying warm in this chilly weather.
Thanks for coming to my book signing.

This salad makes my mouth water. Wish I didn't already have my fridge stuffed with produce or I'd come up with a way to add this to the meal plans for this week!
I was hoping you'd have a fun salad soon. You remaining my number one food blogger!
Hi Elana, the actual name of the lettuce is "frisée" or "frisee" (which means curly in French), not frisse :) The salad looks good nevertheless!
Looks delicious! I can't wait to try it.
I've seen radicchio at the store and was intrigued, but had no idea what I'd do with it. This gives me a reason to buy one. Thanks! The salami version sounds interesting too.
Beautiful salad. Colorful and so healthy!
[...] Because using “lettuce” just isn’t fancy enough, Elana’s Pantry makes a salad with radicchio and frisee. [...]
