Citrus salad with blood orange vinaigrette
Is everyone around you also coughing and sneezing? Than it's time for a citrus salad that provides you with tons of vitamins. We love this combination of blood oranges, grapefruits and oranges, but feel free to use whatever you like and have in your kitchen.
Radicchio is naturally slightly bitter, but if you notice that yours is TOO bitter, remove the stalk generously and transfer it into a bowl with lukewarm water for at least 30 minutes. Also you can season the dressing with more maple syrup to make it a bit more sweeter.
This salad serves for 2 people as kind of a main dish. If you serve it as a side dish, it serves for at least 4 people.
