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.

I love radicchio salads, and this one is one of my favorites. The anchovy vinaigrette is the perfect complement to the bitterness of the radicchio. I also like to add some crumbled blue cheese to this salad.
