Salad or other fresh vegetables should always be present in our meals. Sometimes it’s useful to prepare them as our main course and if we are hungry, they can be accompanied by a small piece of cheese or lean ham. The combination of vegetables and fruit in this salad is interesting and because of this, our families will feel like this is a complete dish, not the usual side salad.

The red radicchio you see represented in the photo is an early stage Treviso radicchio. This type of radicchio is tied to a particular area of Italy. It can be replaced by the common red radicchio that is readily available.
