Sauteed Salad


After a morning of house cleaning and laundry, I sat on the sofa to give my legs some rest.
I quickly became hungry for a refreshing salad that would be quick and easy to prepare with things I had on hand. I made my way to the kitchen and searched the fridge. This is what turned out, and I am quite pleased with it!

Ingredients for 2:
(I made it for myself, but had plenty left over)

1 small red onion
1 bunch of radicchio
2 cups baby spinach
1 and 1/2 cups steamed roman broccoli
3 slices grilled eggplant
1/3 cup smoked Scamorza (or any smoked cheese)
1/4 cup shaved Grana (or Parmigiano)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
olive oil and balsamic vinegar
2 crusty bread rolls


Slice the onion and sauté in olive oil.

In the meantime, thickly slice the radicchio.
Add the radicchio to the onion and sautée just until wilted.
Place the baby spinach in a salad bowl. Cut the roman broccoli and eggplant in chunks and add them to the spinach.
Slice the Scamorza, cut into strips and add to the vegetables in the bowl.

Top with the sautéed onion and radicchio, the shaved Grana and walnuts.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve with the bread.
Yes, that in the glass is delicious red orange juice, from sicilian oranges!

Buon appetito!
