What is Cabbage and radicchio salad?
Cabbage and radicchio salad brings together finely sliced cabbage and radicchio, a crisp, slightly bitter member of the chicory family associated with Italian cooking. There is no single fixed recipe: the type of cabbage, other additions and dressing vary from kitchen to kitchen, and the vegetables are usually served raw.
Its crunchy texture and gentle bitterness work well with a simple vinaigrette, citrus or olive oil. In Italy it can accompany a meal as a fresh side; elsewhere, serve it alongside grilled vegetables, beans or a main course, or add grains to make it more substantial. The salad provides fibre and is a source of vitamins C and K, while remaining light. For a lighter dressing, use lemon and a little olive oil rather than a creamy sauce.
