Radicchio

Radicchio, Cherry Tomato & Ricotta Salad

Sometimes simplicity is all that is needed, especially when flavoring layer techniques are applied. Here taste and texture perfectly complement each other in this salad mix of radicchio, which has a slight bitter note, paired with the sweetness of cherry tomatoes, and the texture of ricotta salata, a mild, milky-white, firm cheese. And to bring this all home, a simple salad dressing of drizzled extra virgin olive oil, fresh squeezed lemon juice, a dash of your favorite sea salt and sniped fresh dill (chives can also be used).
Pair this salad with a meat dish such as Cheese Stuffed Meatballs, or this seductively prepared Braised Pork Belly, or if you’re looking for a yummy Brunch menu serve it with Mushroom Cheddar Tarts and a glass of champagne!
