Delicious and simple radicchio salad – Massimo Capra
Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik
When people tell me they hate winter I think of the dark side argument from the opening scene of When Harry Met Sally . Most people hate winter in a nonchalant Sally Albright kind of way. And then there are those of us in the Harry Burns camp who dread it all the time. I may not read the last page of a book first but I do start complaining about the days getting shorter on June 22nd. In the fall when most people are enjoying the foliage and pumpkin-spice-everything vibes I go into full House Stark mode warning everyone who will listen that winter is indeed coming. Once the fleeting joy of the holidays comes and goes things get very bleak especially when it comes to cooking with fresh produce.
It’s easy to get lost when you’re staring down the hellish abyss of beets and parsnips. But there are a few winter treats that can pull us all back from the brink: endives and citrus. Aside from late summer tomato season this is my favorite time of year to make salads. I love working with varieties of bitter radicchio and endive pairing them with bright tart oranges tangerines or clementines.
