Grilled Radicchio Salad
With hints of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, this grilled radicchio salad is an easy side dish to serve with any meal.
Radicchio, sometimes known as Italian chicory, is a leafy vegetable with white-veined red leaves. It’s slightly bitter if eaten raw, but grilling brings out its natural sweetness. “But over-grilling is a detriment as radicchio is quite delicate and overcooking will create a burnt, bitter-tasting dish,” advises chef and TV host Liz Fusato, who shared three of her family recipes for our Autumn 2024 feature “She Says Tomato”. Use as many other salad greens as you prefer for this salad.
