Radicchio, Cara Cara Orange & Chèvre Breakfast Salad
Bright, lightly bitter radicchio meets sweet Cara Cara oranges, creamy chèvre, and crunchy granola for a brunch salad that cuts beautifully through richer dishes.
Ingredients:
1 head mixed radicchio, torn into bite-sized pieces
2 Cara Cara oranges, peeled and segmented
¼ small red onion, very thinly sliced
½ cup Bellsong Creamery chèvre, crumbled
¼ cup Carnation Farms Toasted Coconut Granola
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Honey-Citrus Dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon wildflower honey
1 teaspoon raspberry vinegar (optional, for brightness)
Pinch of sea salt
Method:
1. To make the dressing, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, honey, vinegar (if using), and salt until emulsified.
2. In a large bowl, gently toss radicchio, orange segments, and red onion with just enough dressing to lightly coat.
3. Transfer to a serving platter and scatter chèvre, granola, and thyme over the top.
