Radicchio Salad with Caramelized Carrots and Onions

This vibrant radicchio salad with caramelised carrots and onions is a masterful balance of flavours and textures. The bitterness of the radicchio leaves provides the perfect foil for the natural sweetness of roasted root vegetables and juicy orange segments. Finished with a zingy sherry vinegar dressing and crunchy toasted almonds, it is a sophisticated vegan dish that works beautifully as a light lunch or an impressive side dish for a weekend dinner party.

Packed with vitamin-rich ingredients like fresh parsley and citrus, this colourful seasonal salad is as nutritious as it is delicious. The combination of warm, caramelised vegetables with crisp, fresh greens creates a satisfying contrast that will appeal to vegans and meat-eaters alike. Serve it immediately while the vegetables are still slightly warm to enjoy the full depth of the savoury, honeyed dressing.

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in another large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, 1 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon thyme and 1/4 teaspoons red pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are lightly browned and tender, 10–12 minutes.
