Cooking Notes
Simple and delicious way to serve bitter lettuces. A variety of radicchios makes it more interesting. Half a recipe of dressing is more than enough for two servings (but mash whole garlic clove - easier - and use half).
Shaved fennel bulb is a delicious addition to this salad.
This looks great! I’m especially keen to try the dressing. I think I will zest the lemon into the mixing bowl in addition to the other steps. Other possibilities include miso or tahini after I try the original.
'but mash whole garlic clove' Possibly simpler and more effective to microplane it. Radicchio's just coming into season here in SW France - but it's mainly still coming over the Pyrenees from Spain, so I'll try this in the coming week. Maybe a twist would be grated orange rind and / or a dash of pomegranate molasses
Could you please address what kind of anchovies to use: canned (and already "oiled"? Or (now) readily available fresh?
Delicious! The dressing and cheese perfectly balance the radicchio. Could add some citrus I think for a bit of sweetness. But yummy as is.
Just tried, but left garlic out as my colleagues in Germany don’t like the smell of garlic. Even without garlic it was super delicious for my taste, however my teen son didn’t share my excitement )).
This is an absolutely phenomenal dressing. Sharp, salty, piquant, deep…I want to just sit with a martini and dip radicchio leaves in this for dinner.

Made this dressing but realized I ran out of Dijon (I know, it’s a crime!) so i replaced it with red wine vinegar and loved it. Used it two days in a row, first on the radicchio and second on a simple arugula salad! Always go for anchovies in a nice tin… makes all the difference in my opinion!
Great simple salad. Made it exactly as written and we split it down the middle, the two of us. This is a good recipe because most of the ingredients are items I already have at home. I served it with good amounts of Parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
I added roasted hazelnuts, delish!
