Start by making the vinaigrette with chopped shallots and aged cherry vinegar.

Add kosher salt and sugar to the vinegar to break down the acidity.

Let the vinaigrette sit for about 20-30 minutes to meld the flavors.

Add a blended oil (75-25 ratio) and extra virgin olive oil to the vinaigrette and whisk it together.

Mix the chicories: castell franco, pink radicchio, regular endive, and red endive in a bowl.

Add enough chicory for one to two people into the bowl.

Add about 10 to 12 pieces of picked parsley to the chicory mix.

Season with a little salt and fresh pepper.

Add beautiful grapefruit and blood oranges to the salad for citrus flavor.

Include sliced oranges for contrast in the citrus.

Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of vinaigrette over the salad, being careful not to overdress it.

Mix the salad gently to combine all ingredients.

Plate the salad with fresh burrata, adjusting the amount to your preference.

Add marcona almonds that are roasted and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt to the plate.

Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil around the plate.
