Preparation
Combine the radicchio and endive in a work bowl. Add the balsamic vinegar and ¼ cup olive oil and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill radicchio and endive until just charred, about 1 minute per side. Remove from grill, arrange on a platter or sheet pan in a single layer, and place in refrigerator to cool.
Combine orange and lemon zests and juices in a small sauce pot. Reduce by half and cool to room temperature. Whisk in the chopped herbs and remaining olive oil to make the vinaigrette.
Remove the cores from the grilled endive and radicchio. Combine the radicchio, endive, arugula, and cherries in a large work bowl. Toss with desired amount of vinaigrette and season to taste. Garnish with crumbled goat cheese.
