Seared Radicchio Salad

This salad may look simple, but it definitely isn’t lacking in flavor. My bitter greens are flourishing in my garden and I was so excited to finally use them in a meal!  I also wanted to include this simple trick of searing the radicchio and arranging the endive— it really creates a beautiful and elegant presentation, perfect for your next dinner party or just a meal at home for yourself!
