Ingredients for Radicchio with Creamy Tahini and Salted Sesame Seeds

• 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

• Flaky sea salt

• 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced

• 60ml fresh lemon juice

• Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

• 80ml plain whole-milk Greek yoghurt

• 1 tablespoon tahini

• 2 medium or 4 small heads of radicchio, leaves separated, large leaves torn

• Olive oil (for drizzling)

Lightly crush sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle (alternatively, place seeds in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a mug) and transfer to a small bowl. Add a few generous pinches of sea salt and toss to combine. Set aside.

Toss onion and lemon juice in a large bowl; season with kosher salt and pepper. Let sit 5 minutes to lightly pickle.

Meanwhile, mix yoghurt, tahini, and 2 tablespoons water in another small bowl until smooth; season tahini dressing with kosher salt and pepper.

Add radicchio to bowl with onion and drizzle with oil. Toss to coat; season with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer salad to a platter and drizzle with tahini dressing. Sprinkle reserved salted sesame seeds over salad.
