The other day, I had an irresistible craving for an Italian-style salad, with lots of elements and textures. This salad is as delicious as a starter as it is as a main course, and offers a real explosion of Mediterranean flavors.

Good to know

When I’m making salads, I love to make the dressing directly in my salad bowl. It cuts down on the amount of washing up I have to do afterwards, it’s quicker and the dressing spreads really well throughout the salad.

Frequently asked questions

Le radicchio apporte une légère amertume à cette salade. Il peut être remplacé par de la roquette, qui est légèrement moins amère, du chou frisé (kale) ou même de la laitue romaine.

Les pepperoncinis sont généralement assez doux, avec un léger piquant, mais restent accessibles à la plupart des palais!
