With salty, sweet, and creamy components, this recipe is more than just a salad: It's a fully realized side dish. Pale yellowish-white Castelfranco radicchio is usually tender and mild, but Chioggia (round) or Treviso (spear-shaped) varieties also work.

Recipe notes

Fet-Fisk’s Grilled Cabbage Caesar

The contrast of serving a grilled vegetable ice-cold is thrilling, and the Caesar dressing is rich and thick enough to cling longingly to each leaf of cabbage.

Radicchio Jam Rigatoni

Cooking down radicchio with vinegar and sugar until jammy is an eye-opening approach that reveals a world of options beyond salad.

Steak Salad With Feta Dressing

Juicy steak, crisp lettuce, and a blender dressing come together for a breezy summer dinner.

Green Pasta e Fagioli

This riff on the Italian classic comfort food gets its verdant color from kale two ways: blended into the base, and wilted among the pasts and white beans.

Super Seedy Kale Salad

A Sicilian-inspired kale salad with creamy almond dressing, raisins, and pine nuts. Excellent for meal prep and packing as a desk lunch.
