Radicchio

Radicchio is part of the chicory family (red-leaf Italian chicory). Chicories are essential to any great salad! Some people think of chicories as weeds, but don’t be fooled, they’re packed with flavor and nutrients.

Radicchio has a compact head of reddish, white-streaked leaves. Add it to any dish for fancy color and a delicious delicate taste. Try radicchio alone with a little coat of quality olive oil and enjoy!
