COLORFUL CHICORY SALAD WITH ANCHOVY DRESSING



Colorful Chicory Salad With Anchovy Dressing image

The Italian chicory called radicchio comes in many guises. The round-headed radicchio di Chioggia is the most commonly known here, but the others, like the elongated Treviso and the curly fingered Tardivo are increasingly available. They sport shades of red, from burgundy to crimson to oxblood. The chicory family is a large one, though, and other members come in other colors, such as the fetchingly speckled yellow-cast Castelfranco; pale green broad-leafed escarole; curly endive or pointy-leaved Belgian endives, which are ivory or pink. All feature a pleasantly bittersweet flavor and require a somewhat assertive vinaigrette. Use only one type of chicory if you wish, but a colorful mixture of many kinds is a sight to behold.

RADICCHIO SALAD WITH ANCHOVY VINAIGRETTE



Radicchio Salad With Anchovy Vinaigrette image

Salt is the best way to tame a bitter flavor, and so a radicchio salad benefits from a dressing that tilts toward saltiness. It does not matter which type of radicchio you use - the common tight round head, clusters of white stems with burgundy leaves, or maroon-trimmed endives to name a few - they all deliver some bitterness. The vinaigrette here is bolstered with anchovies and capers.
