Farm Fresh Recipes — Radicchio

This vibrant salad combines the earthy flavours of celery root and the bitterness of radicchio, topped with a warm, sweet date dressing. The addition of crunchy pistachios and fresh parsley creates a deliciously balanced dish that’s perfect for any occasion.

This recipe for Balsamic Caramelized Radicchio with Grapes & Gorgonzola sounds fancy, but it all comes together relatively quickly with minimal ingredients. Roasting or grilling radicchio reduces its characteristic bitter flavour, if that is something that you'd prefer to avoid. Serve this jewel-toned dish as a side to a roast dinner, or set a few wedges on top of a bed of peppery arugula for a delicious fall salad.
