This recipe is a great way to use up leftover radicchio. I always have some leftover after making a salad and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of radicchio, but this recipe was amazing. The balsamic vinegar and ricotta cheese really balance out the bitterness of the radicchio.

This is a great recipe for a light and refreshing salad. The radicchio is bitter, but the balsamic vinegar and ricotta cheese balance it out perfectly. I highly recommend this recipe.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The radicchio is always perfectly bitter and the balsamic vinegar adds just the right amount of sweetness. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe was just okay. The radicchio was a bit too bitter for my taste and the balsamic vinegar didn't really add much flavor.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I made this recipe, but it was definitely not this. The radicchio was bitter and the balsamic vinegar was too sweet. I ended up throwing most of it away.

This recipe is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The radicchio is packed with nutrients and the balsamic vinegar is a good source of antioxidants.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The bitterness of the radicchio is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the balsamic vinegar and the creaminess of the ricotta cheese.
