This decidedly grown-up salad combines pleasantly bitter radicchio and treviso tossed with grainy mustard vinaigrette, chopped walnuts, sweet persimmons, and creamy blue cheese!
Creamy blue cheese, sweet persimmons, and super acidic grainy mustard vinaigrette perfectly balance the bitterness of the radicchio leaves. This flavorful fall salad is the perfect complement to roasted meat or fish.
