Spinach Radicchio Salad by Jan McCracken
Your taste buds will stand at attention for the radicchio in this salad. With its tender and firm texture, it has a slight bite when eaten alone; however, it adds flavor when mixed with other greens and veggies.
In a salad bowl, combine radicchio, spinach, mushrooms, red pepper, and olives. Chill until serving time.
Combine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, and pepper in a glass jar with lid. Make sure lid is secure and shake vigorously.
Pour mixture evenly over salad and toss. Distribute evenly in individual chilled salad bowls.
Garnish each salad with a sprinkling of one teaspoon Parmesan cheese before serving.
