Rach loves the balance between the bitterness of the radicchio and the sweetness of the citrus in this Charred Radicchio Salad. The red onion, parsley and celery tops, along with the Dijon dressing, round everything out. Rach likes to serve it with her Bucatini with Creamy Bacon and Onion Sauce.

Place vinegar, sugar, zest, mustard, thyme, EVOO and garlic (if using) in a jar, cover and shake to combine.
Preheat a grill or your broiler. Spray the radicchio with oil and season with salt and pepper. Brown on cut sides, remove from grill or oven and when cool enough to handle, coarsely chop. Add onions, parsley and celery tops and citrus sections. Dress the salad and serve.
