The French Bistro Salad

The French bistro salad ~ a barefoot contessa recipe. Flavor, color & medicinal properties ~ these are my priorities in all my dishes. i want them to taste good & i want you to feel good. radicchio is one of the main ingredients in the french bistro salad. it is a blood purifier ~ loaded with fiber, antioxidants, b & k vitamins (the vitamins that make you glow & are good for your brain), iron (helps bring oxygen to your blood), magnesium & so much more. it’s also beautiful & exotic. I toss in apples, endive, gorgonzola cheese & caramelized walnuts with the radicchio & toss it with a dijon, champagne vinaigrette.
