Radicchio, citrus and mozzarella salad

February 13, 2019 By travellingoven 8 Comments

It’s been way too long since I posted a savory recipe on the blog but recently I’ve been inspired by some beautiful fresh produce I got at the farmers’ market and I knew I wanted to make a colourful and refreshing winter salad so here it is!

This salad has so many wonderful flavours and textures, from intense and slightly bitter taste of radicchio and endive, sweetness of oranges, creamy mozzarella, crunchy walnuts and delicious lemon, honey and olive oil dressing. I eat this salad as a main dish and don’t need anything else with it. Ok, I won’t say no to a nice slice of a crusty bread! 🙂

In the recipe I just wrote all the ingredients and not the quantities as the quantities really depend on the fact to how many people are you serving this salad and also if you are serving it as a side dish or light main dish. I hope that’s ok for you!

On another note, how was your January and can you even believe that it’s February already!? Like how did that happen? Ah well, I guess there is no point in complaining but I’ve been really missing a real winter and snow. We had only one night snow here in Zagreb and I took that opportunity to go for an early morning shoot the following day to capture some of that winter beauty. I was planning to do that again and then maybe do a blog post with those images but we didn’t have any snow since and for the moment it doesn’t look like we will. What a shame, no real winter this year and I’m pretty disappointed with that but what can we do but go with the flow. Before we know it it will be Spring already so it’s better that I post this winter salad as soon as possible while it’s still the right time for that!

Ingredients
  • radicchio
  • endive
  • fennel
  • mozzarella di bufala
  • oranges
  • grapefruit
  • walnuts
  • For dressing: lemon + olive oil + honey
  • sea salt for seasoning
  • Note: I didn't write the quantities as you can adjust those according to your needs and wishes.
  • For the dressing I used 2 tbsp olive oil + 1 tbsp lemon juice + 1 tbsp honey.
Preparation
  1. Wash the fennel, radicchio and endive. Peal oranges and grapefruit.
  2. Cut fennel into thin slices and tear the leaves of radicchio and endive into bite-sized pieces and put them in a large bowl. Add slices of orange and grapefruit, mozzarella and walnuts (you can toast them before for more flavourful taste).
  3. To prepare the dressing whisk olive oil, lemon juice and honey and drizzle it over the salad, add salt per taste and serve in a large bowl. Enjoy!

Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days cr Shooting the cookbook and spending my work days creating, doing what I love and sharing the same energy and passion with its author @andreapisac has been one of the highlights of this otherwise very difficult year for me. Very grateful that life sometimes when you are at low point sends you people who lift you up and inspire you. 
Beautiful and meaningful connections are such a wonderful thing…❤️ #cookbook #croatiandesserts

Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls Ever tried bobići (or favete)? These little balls of sweetness are a true Dalmatian delight, especially around All Saints’ Day. 🍬
In Split, they’re called bobići, while in Šibenik, you’ll hear favete — but whatever the name, they’re closest to the Italian fave dei morti cookies. Made from almonds, egg whites, sugar, a dash of Maraschino, and a hint of lemon zest, they’re baked to soft, golden perfection. Perfect with a cup of coffee or even a little rakija to balance the sweetness! 
This recipe will be in the upcoming cookbook written by @andreapisac and shot by me, Croatian Desserts Vol. 2, currently in the making! ✨ Stay tuned!

The unique thing about this cookbook is that each step of the process is captured in photos so there is lots of flour, powdered sugar and messy bowls on the set! Stay tuned for more! 😄

Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, m Every summer I’m on the vacation in Dubrovnik, my hometown, at least one morning I get up really early, before the sunrise so I can take photos while most people are still asleep. However, I don’t do it only for the photos. Also, because I love to experience those moments when the streets are still empty and quiet, it feels very peaceful and good for my soul.✨✨✨
Photos and story are on the blog now, link in my profile…
This September besides work I want to focus on fin This September besides work I want to focus on finding joy and pleasure in little ‘ordinary’ everyday things… beauty in simplicity… food that I love, coffee with friends, genuine smiles, cooler nights, fresh breeze, gentle warmth instead of heat…✨✨✨
