Radicchio and Romaine Salad with Crème Fraîche Vinaigrette
I worked at a French-inspired cafe in Southern Oregon while attending college where I learned a few foundational recipes that I still rely on today. One of them is this refreshing crisp salad of chopped greens usually consisting of an abundance of bitter leaves such as radicchio and sturdy lettuces like romaine doused with a savory creme fraiche vinaigrette. I love how the creamy dressing soothes the sharpness of the radicchio. It's laced with fragrant Meyer lemon juice, and a punch of garlic gives it a sturdy backbone.Note: I like to serve this salad chilled, so it's an ideal dish to pair with hearty roasted meats in the middle of winter.[tasty-recipe id="7378"]Related:
