Walnuts can get bitter if toasted too long, so remove them from the oven as soon as they turn golden brown.

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.
