Radicchio salad
Bitter leaves, whether radicchio, dandelion or dock, benefit from a thoughtful combination of ingredients to balance the flavour. Here, the sweetness of the slightly caramelised roast grapes, the creaminess of the burrata, and the acidity of the balsamic, are pretty perfect. It is a hardy salad that can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Just remember to leave enough time out of the fridge to allow it to come close to room temperature before serving. A good picnic salad that works well alongside a tart or quiche.
