Salt is the best way to tame a bitter flavor, and so a radicchio salad benefits from a dressing that tilts toward saltiness. It does not matter which type of radicchio you use - the common tight round head, clusters of white stems with burgundy leaves, or maroon-trimmed endives to name a few - they all deliver some bitterness. The vinaigrette here is bolstered with anchovies and capers.

[email protected]This salad is a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of greens next time.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of anchovies, so I omitted them from the dressing. The salad was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the anchovies.

[email protected]This radicchio salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of bitter radicchio, salty anchovies, and tangy vinaigrette was perfectly balanced. I especially loved the crispy shallots, which added a nice textural contrast.
