This was a delicious salad. I invited friends over for this salad before we went to a cocktail party. They loved it and asked for the recipe.
This lasted me 24 hours. I ate it as a meal 2 nights in a row. I added craisins & walnuts for extra sweetness. Very good.
I made this and loved it! I used blue cheese crumbles that came with dried cranberries mixed in. It was so yummy! I thought the portions from the recipe were fine for two hungry adults. In fact, I doubled it and had leftovers for lunch at work the next day and dinner for just me the second night. I thought the raddichio would be soggy but I was plesently surprised when I open the container for lunch and still felt some crisp.
How many people are you serving? Cut the ingredients in 1/2. I have to do that consistently, since there are only 2 of us, and at our age...we don't eat as much as we used to. (Cause we don't need it!)
i thought this was great however it didnt last more then 24 hours.... i wouldnt make it unless you will eat it entirely in one day
