Radicchio salad with arugula, salmon trout, orange and PDO Fontina
A fresh, particular and all-in-ones salad that we pair with a Collio Sauvignon 2021 Ronco Blanchis.
Ingredients for 4 people:
250g Fontina cheese, 2 heads of Verona radicchio, 80g arugula, 200g smoked salmon trout, 2 and a half oranges, extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and pumpkin seeds (optional).
Directions:
Remove the cores from the radicchio heads, cut them into thin slices, wash and blend them in a mixer. Wash and blend the arugula as well.
Peel the 2 whole oranges and cut them into pieces around 2cm in size.
Break up the salmon trout, removing any residual bones, and make strips about 3-4 long.
Cut the rind from the Fontina and cut it into sticks. Use a salad bowl to mix together the radicchio, arugula, salmon trout, fontina and oranges.
Squeeze the remaining half orange and blend it with 40ml of EVOO, 4 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Use this dressing to season the salad and serve.
To make the salad a little crunchier, sprinkle a healthy spoonful of pumpkin seeds.
