A little salad with red chicory recipe

We must admit it, we are very fond of the red chicory! We already posted a recipe based on it, in the past (take a look at Pasta with red Radicchio).

Here in Italy we have the Radicchio of Treviso, a truly popular vegetable which is usually eaten grilled in olive oil, or mixed into dishes such as the risotto. In the United States it starts gaining popularity, but it is more often eaten raw in salads. So here we go with a simple recipe based on the red cicory. As usual, quick and very tasty.

Ingredients for the salad with red chicory

• Red chicory;
• Parmesan cheese;
• salt;
• pepper;
• extra virgin olive oil;
• lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon).

Preparation

Wash an cut into slices the red chicory and cut in thin pieces the Parmesan cheese.

Put the red chicory in a salad bowl together with the Parmesan cheese and do a first, rough mix.

Add salt, pepper, extra virgin olive oil, the juice of half lemon and mix again.

If you like it, you can also add a teaspoon of French mustard that is typically mild in flavor and it is similar to Dijon mustard.
