Fantastic. While radicchio was expensive, this recipe made it worth every penny.

I give this 4 - 5 stars.
I love the bitter and the nutrient density of the radicchio lettuce. Balanced with the walnuts, beets and dates along with the very simple but balancing dressing - this was a perfect pairing w/the healing garlic-ginger vegetable soup. It was a hit with the whole family.
