Radicchio is a leaf chicory, sometimes known as Italian chicory. It is grown as a leaf vegetable which usually has white-veined red leaves. It has a bitter and spicy taste, which mellows when it is grilled or roasted.
This is a simple salad that can be paired with any grilled meat!
1 head of radicchio
4 mini zucchinis
Drizzle of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 - 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
Preheat your grill. Chop your radicchio into quarters and slice the zucchinis in half length wise. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt and fresh black pepper. Grill on medium heat until tender with grill marks (about 5 - 7 minutes). Once tender remove from the grill. Chop into bite size pieces and place in bowl. Drizzle with a good quality balsamic vinegar and top with chopped fresh cilantro. The grilling cuts down the bitterness of the radicchio and when paired with balsamic vinegar it tastes great.
