Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• Flaky sea salt
• 1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

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

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