Tips:
- Choose the right radicchio. Look for heads that are firm and have deep red leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Wash the radicchio thoroughly. Rinse the radicchio under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the radicchio. This will help to prevent the leaves from tearing.
- Add other ingredients to your salad. Some good options include crumbled bacon, chopped walnuts, or shaved Parmesan cheese.
- Make the lemon dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
- Serve the salad immediately. Radicchio salad is best when it is fresh.
