Step 1
Start by heating your outdoor grill to medium and giving the grate a quick brush with some oil to keep things from sticking. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and some pepper—this will be your dressing, so set it aside for now. Take your radicchio and cut it into four wedges. Give each wedge a light coating of the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle a little salt over them. Place the radicchio wedges on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until they get a nice char. Once grilled, transfer them to a plate, scatter some pistachios and blue cheese on top, then drizzle with the dressing you made earlier. Serve it right away and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
The sharpness of the blue cheese pairs beautifully with the slightly bitter and smoky flavor of grilled radicchio. This combination creates a unique balance of tastes that is both rich and refreshing. It’s a simple dish that feels gourmet and satisfying.
How to serve
Serve alongside crusty bread or toasted baguette slices to add texture and soak up the flavors. It also works well as a side dish with grilled meats or a light salad for a complete meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best taste and texture, consume within two days as the radicchio may become soggy and the cheese may lose its freshness over time.
