Squash and Radicchio Salad With Pecans

This roasted squash and radicchio salad is a masterclass in balancing textures and flavours. The natural sweetness of the roasted honeynut or delicata squash provides a mellow base for the pleasant bitterness of radicchio leaves and the crisp, refreshing crunch of Asian pear. It is a sophisticated vegetarian dish that works beautifully as a standalone lunch or as a vibrant centrepiece for a seasonal dinner party.

What sets this recipe apart is the ingenious pecan-based vinaigrette, which adds a nutty depth and creamy consistency without the need for dairy. Topped with sharp shavings of salty Piave or Parmesan cheese and toasted pecans, this salad is as nutritious as it is elegant. For the best results, use a high-quality extra-virgin olive oil to bring all the Mediterranean-inspired elements together.
