Radicchio-Pasta Salad image

The dressing for this salad dressing combines a favorite flavor combo of mine, orange and oregano. The pasta is tossed with the sweet-tangy dressing, bitter red greens and onions. It may not be for everyone but it's definitely a favorite of mine.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover radicchio. It's also a very healthy and refreshing side dish.

I'm always looking for new and exciting salad recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The radicchio and goat cheese are a great combination, and the dressing is to die for. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of greens.

I thought this salad was just okay. The radicchio was a bit too bitter for my taste, and the dressing was a bit too oily. I wouldn't make this again.
