Ivo's Italian flag Salad and understanding balsamic vinegar
Here's a mix of lettuce that is so colorful, it reminds me a bit of the Italian flag :) It is also so tender, sweet, and flavorful, especially when you add our simple dressing - which by the way, did you know there was a rating system for balsamic vinegar?
Stay tuned and PS: there's always room for salad

Ivo’s “Italian Flag Salad”
Ingredients
• 1 – 2 heads of radicchio lettuce (round head style)
• 1 head of escarole lettuce
• 1 head of curly leaf endive lettuce
• Extra Virgin Olive oil (EVOO)
• Balsamic Vinegar (preferably 4 leaf rating)
• Salt (optional)
Direction and Method
• Cut radicchio into bite size pieces, wash and spin dry, put in a large bowl
• Cut off leafy green ends from your escarole, and reserve those for soup. Then cut remaining lettuce into bite size pieces, wash, spin dry, add to bowl with radicchio
• Cut off leafy green ends from your endive, and reserve those for soup. Then cut remaining lettuce into bite size pieces, wash, spin dry, add to bowl with radicchio & escarole
• Toss all three together mix to get all 3 evenly dispersed
• Remove enough for your meal, and place remaining lettuce in an open bag, and store in fridge for up to a week
• For your meal, add EVOO and balsamic vinegar to your lettuce (ratio is 3-4 parts olive oil to 1-part balsamic vinegar (if using 4 leaf rated balsamic vinegar, no salt is required, otherwise, add salt to taste)
• Toss well, to ensure the EVOO and balsamic vinegar are evenly dispersed (when you think you’ve tossed enough, toss a bit more ????)
• Enjoy

Light vegetarian risotto with grilled radicchio
This risotto with radicchio is a light and easy vegetarian recipe which you can use for the whole year. Besides radicchio, use seasonal vegetables such as asparagus, courgettes (zucchini), sweet peppers, eggplant. Anything that goes on a grill will be fine. Just marinate the lightly charred vegetables with olive oil and finely minced garlic, chop and add into the risotto just before serving. Full recipe on my blog Madonna del Piatto, see below!

Seared Radicchio Mediterranean style
Seared Radicchio Mediterranean style. If you like radicchio, you will love this healthy and delicious recipe with complex flavours and textures. Simple and quick to make. It’s also known as Italian chicory and used in Italian cuisine. The bitter taste will mellow the more you cook it. I prefer somewhere in between so you still retain the crunchy texture. The radicchio is full of antioxidants, vitamins and plant phytonutrients making it a healthy choice.
