Winter Salad with Radicchio Trevigiano, Pomegranate, Apple, Pecorino Cheese, and Pandoro Croutons with Rosemary Oil
Recipe by Silvia Baldini—This is the perfect season for colorful, hearty salads that highlight bitter greens and vibrant winter ingredients, and this recipe has quickly become a favorite. It captures the essence of winter with the bold bitterness of radicchio, the sweet pop of pomegranate seeds and apples, and the savory sharpness of Pecorino, all brought together by a luscious rosemary oil dressing. When choosing apples, opt for firm ones, and if possible, select pink-fleshed varieties—they’re not only stunning but also have a delightful lemony tang. Infusing the rosemary needles in high-quality extra virgin olive oil until they turn crunchy and edible adds an unexpected and delightful twist—a true winter flavor bomb! The Pandoro croutons provide the final magical touch— sweet and irresistibly festive.
