Cabbage and radicchio salad with grilled apricots from Val Venosta
Cool summer combinations
This cabbage and radicchio salad with grilled apricots from Val Venosta, walnuts, feta and a sweet-acidulous red currant dressing combines fresh flavors and deliciously crunchy textures. It is perfect as a light main course or refined side dish and quick and easy to prepare, as it only takes a few steps to bring an explosion of colors and notes of summer flavors to the table.
For the cabbage and radicchio salad with grilled apricots Wash the cabbage, radicchio leaves and rocket. Then finely slice cabbage and radicchio and coarsely slice the rocket and put in a bowl. Add the chopped walnuts. Cut the feta into cubes and set aside.
For the red currant dressing Wash and shell the currants with a fork and put them in a saucepan. Add a tablespoon of water and cook them over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring often, until they begin to break. Blend them with a hand blender and add honey, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix.
For the grilled apricots Wash the apricots, divide them in half and remove the stone. Heat a grill pan until it is very hot and place the apricots with the cut side down in it. Grill over high heat for 2-3 minutes, then turn and finish cooking on the other side.
Completion Spread the red currant dressing over the cabbage and radicchio salad and stir. Add the grilled apricots and feta cubes and serve.

The Martello Valley is known beyond our borders for its delicious mountain berries. Why? Because our farmers have known for decades exactly what fruits need to develop their unique flavour.
