Warm Winter Salad
Recipe
I’m not going to dwell on introductions here as the colours of this salad speak for themselves. Also, I never read any lengthy monologues about food on other blogs, for inspiration I only look at the photography.
Saying that, I love the combination of the sweetness of the roasted potatoes and the bitterness & crunchiness of the radicchio.
You can serve it warm or cold, but whatever you do – please don’t forget the hummus or baba ganoush!
