Radicchio Cucumber and Avocado Recipe
A fresh and flavorful radicchio cucumber and avocado salad made with crunchy walnuts, sweet goji berries, and a simple homemade red wine vinaigrette.
Servings :4 people
Ingredients
- 1 head fresh radicchio
- 1 English cucumber
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup gogi berries optional or raisins, cranberries etc.
For The Vinaigrette
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 small fresh garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the Vegetables: Rinse the radicchio and cucumber well before chopping. Pull the radicchio leaves apart when rinsing. Pat the leaves dry or shake the excess water off.
- Chop: Dice the cucumber into smaller pieces. For the radicchio, roll the leaves together and fold them in, then thinly slice. Add the cleaned and chopped veg into a serving plate or bowl.
- Prep the avocado: Remove the peel from the avocado and slice each half, then cube and add them into the salad bowl.
- Nuts: Roughly chop the nuts and top over the salad. Add goji berries, if using.
Notes
- Toasting the walnuts is optional, but it adds extra flavor and crunch to the salad.
- Pistachios or almonds can be used instead of walnuts.
- Swap the goji berries for raisins, dried cranberries, or sultanas if preferred.
- Add crumbled feta cheese for a salty, creamy variation.
- Add the vinaigrette just before serving for the freshest texture.
- Use ripe but firm avocado for the best results.
