- Shave a half a head of radicchio very thinly, as if you were making a very fine slaw. Add to the bowl.
- Chop fresh parsley and add to the bowl.
- For the dressing, combine 4 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice with 2/3 cup olive oil in a jar.
- Add a finely grated clove of garlic (or two) and a large pinch of chili flake and salt.
- Shake the dressing well and taste for seasoning. Add more lemon juice or garlic if needed.
- Dress your salad and toss well to combine and properly season all the bits.
My notes
The salad is particularly nice with pistachio.
