Radicchio is quite a bitter leaf, so works well with sweet or creamy partners, as in this simple salad.
Method
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar and sugar then season with salt and pepper. Add radicchio, pear and nuts (and onion, if using) and toss to combine. Scatter cheese (if using) over the top before serving.
