This recipe fit the bill on a cold and rainy Tuesday. The warm fennel and apples were savory and cozy, wilting the radicchio just enough, with buttery toasted walnuts, a burst of tart from the cranberries and a splash of fresh orange juice. Love. I ate two HUGE bowls for lunch and more with dinner (added in some SCD legal chicken apple sausage).
Ingredients
-I head of radicchio, cored, sliced and washed
-2 navel oranges
-3 fennel bulbs, sliced
-2 large red apples, peeled and sliced (I used Fuji)
-1 cup walnuts
-1 cup dried cranberries (sugar free and sulfur free)
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-Oil of choice
Serves 4
How To
1. In a large sauté skillet, add a drizzle of oil, salt, and fennel and sauté on med heat for about 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Add apples and walnuts and continue to sauté on med/low until apples are just tender. Remove from heat.
2. Build your salad.
3. To a plate, add a few handfuls of radicchio. Top with warm fennel and apple sauté, cranberries, and serve with 1/2 an orange. Use the orange as the “dressing.”
Apples and Walnuts are lovely in a warm salad, love them! Radicchio and fennel will just compliment the sweetness of the apples perfectly! Such a lovely lunch!

Yum yum! I love how you semi-cook the apple and fennel first, it makes it look even more mouthwatering! I haven’t tried much fennel before, but this looks like a great way to eat it! Thanks for sharing this with Summer Salad Sundays, look forward to seeing you again soon!
This looks like a delicious recipe, and your pictures are great, but I had a terrible flare-up from radicchio. It took me a while to figure out what the problem was – I didn’t see radicchio listed either way on the SCD legal/illegal lists I check, and I very mistakenly assumed it was a kind of lettuce, so therefore, legal. However, radicchio is chicory (I never knew this!), and as such, it’s on the SCD-illegal list. It’s really awesome that you’ve progressed so much on SCD that you digested this with no problems, but since it’s listed as an SCD-friendly recipe, I thought I’d mention that radicchio is not very friendly to those in the early stages of the diet. I was on the diet for a few months without problems.
You are so awesome for this note! Thank you. I’ve changed the title to be more accurate and put a note in the post about radicchio. Thanks so much!!!
Be Well,
