Ingredients

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
• 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. hemp seeds
• 1 Tbsp. white miso paste
• 1 garlic clove
• 1/2 tsp. granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp. finely chopped chives
• 1/2 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper
• 2 large heads of radicchio (quartered through core end)
• 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
• 3 soft boiled eggs (halved or quartered)
• 2 small blood oranges (peeled and sliced into segments (sub 1 large naval orange))
• 1/3 cup toasted walnuts (roughly chopped)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare Creamy Miso Dressing by combining lemon juice, oil, hemp seeds, miso, garlic, and sugar in a blender (I use a Nutribullet). Blend until creamy, gradually adding 1 to 2 Tbsp. water to thin out to desired consistency. Transfer to a bowl and stir in chives and black pepper.

2. 2

   Prepare an indoor grill pan for medium-high heat. Brush olive oil evenly on the cut sides of radicchio wedges and sprinkle with salt. Grill ~2 minutes on each side, until edges are crisp and slightly charred. Transfer to a serving platter.

3. 3

   Scatter orange segments and egg pieces over and around grilled radicchio. Drizzle creamy miso dressing overtop, and garnish with chopped walnuts and additional fresh chives, if desired.
