Discard coarse outer green leaves of radicchio. Thickly slice radicchio and place in iced water with fennel.

Meanwhile, to make red wine vinaigrette, place all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until combined.

Drain fennel and radicchio in a salad spinner and arrange in a large shallow serving bowl. Arrange beetroot wedges and cherries among leaves. Sprinkle with crumbled goat’s cheese, pine nuts, reserved fronds and chives. Spoon over vinaigrette and serve.
