Radicchio-Pasta Salad image

The dressing for this salad dressing combines a favorite flavor combo of mine, orange and oregano. The pasta is tossed with the sweet-tangy dressing, bitter red greens and onions. It may not be for everyone but it's definitely a favorite of mine.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a sweeter dressing.

This radicchio pasta salad is a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The bitter radicchio is perfectly balanced by the sweet dressing and creamy avocado. The pasta provides a hearty base, while the walnuts add a touch of crunch. I highly recomme
