Radicchio and Rocket Salad with Dates, Hazelnuts, and Feta

This vibrant radicchio and rocket salad offers a sophisticated balance of flavours and textures, making it an excellent choice for a contemporary vegetarian starter. The bitter notes of the radicchio and peppery rocket are perfectly offset by the honeyed sweetness of chewy dates and the savoury tang of crumbled feta. Toasted hazelnuts add a delightful crunch and an earthy depth that ties the dish together beautifully.

Quick to assemble and visually striking, this salad is ideal for a light lunch or as a refreshing side dish to accompany grilled meats. The combination of colourful leaves and Mediterranean-inspired ingredients provides a wealth of antioxidants and healthy fats, ensuring it is as nutritious as it is delicious. For the best result, use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately after dressing to retain the crispness of the leaves.
