Radicchio and Feta Salad
It's amazing how just a few ingredients mixed together can produce an incredible taste explosion in our mouths! In this gorgeous salad, the bitterness of the radicchio is well balanced by the honey mustard dressing and all flavors are brought to life with the salty feta cheese.
Also convenient, you can get this salad ready in a zap. Serve it as a side dish or an appetizer and your family and guests will sure be asking for seconds.
If you are not familiar with Radicchio, it is a bitter leafy veggie and a member of the endive family - which also includes Belgian endive and chicory.
You don't like Radicchio? No problem! You are welcome to replace it for another leafy endive or lettuce of your preference.
