Radicchio

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

This updated classic adds dashes of red — and depth of flavor — to the usual apple, celery, and walnut mix. Make the salad ahead and refrigerate, then add the watercress and pecans right before serving.

An overnight pickling tames the red onions.

Radicchio, snow peas and a tangy sesame oil dressing give an old-fashioned dish a delicious new flavor.

A composed salad that features all the bright and pretty colors of the season.

A great accompaniment to baked fish or sausage calzones.

Radicchio di Treviso has long, narrow, pink-to-red leaves that are similar in taste to Belgian endive. It can be found in specialty food markets.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

The tender greens in this salad are a wonderful foil for blue cheeses.

The vinaigrette for this salad benefits from standing for 1 hour to let the flavors of the thyme and garlic develop.

Sophisticated and satisfying, this can be offered as a vegetarian main course or as a hearty side dish.

This reduced-fat version hits all the flavor notes of the original Caeser.

Eating your spinach (and radicchio) has never been more pleasant.
