This vibrant vegan dish offers a sophisticated twist on traditional flavours, combining the bitter crunch of radicchio with earthy kale. Inspired by the sharp, aromatic profiles of fermented preserves, this grilled radicchio and kale sauerkraut-style salad is transformed on the grill to create deep, smoky notes. The warmth of the charring process mellows the vegetables, making them the perfect canvas for a spiced dressing infused with juniper berries, caraway and mustard seeds.
Ideal as a substantial side or a light lunch, this recipe is naturally gluten-free and packed with nutrients. The clever use of apple cider vinegar and classic pickling spices provides that characteristic savoury tang without the long wait for fermentation. Serve it alongside roasted root vegetables or grilled plant-based proteins for a healthy, homemade meal that brings a contemporary touch to your dining table.

Ingredients for Grilled Radicchio and Kale, Sauerkraut Style
120ml plus 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for brushing
1 large shallot, chopped
120ml apple cider vinegar
8 juniper berries
1/2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
3 fresh thyme sprigs
1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 heads radicchio, halved lengthwise
2 big bunches kale, soaked in cold water
How to make Grilled Radicchio and Kale, Sauerkraut Style
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, juniper berries, caraway seeds, mustard seeds, thyme, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper. Bring to a boil and cook until the sugar and salt are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Let sit for 15 minutes then strain into a small bowl, discarding the solids. Slowly whisk in the remaining 120ml oil until emulsified.
Heat your grill to high for direct grilling.
Brush the cut sides of the radicchio with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, cut side down, until golden brown and slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes. Brush the tops with oil, flip over the radicchio, and continue grilling until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the grill. Thinly slice the radicchio and put it in a bowl.
Remove the kale from the water and shake gently to get some of the water off. Season with salt and pepper and place on the grill. Cook until slightly wilted and charred on all sides, about 30 seconds per side. Remove from the grill. Thinly slice and add to the radicchio.
Add the dressing to the radicchio and kale and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
