Made from whole milk ricotta, butter, and ample lemon zest and juice, it’s bright and refreshing, but comforting at the same time.

A vibrant expression of texture and taste, this Radicchio Salad is all about balance. Layers of radicchio and butter lettuce are dressed up with heavy cream and sweet honeycrisp apples, naval oranges, tempering the bitter notes of radicchio. Aside from being a crave-worthy combo of crunchy and delicate, the radicchio and butter lettuce make for a beautiful base. Rather than croutons, this recipe opts for a handful of butter-toasted breadcrumbs for crunchy, savory bits of bread in every bite.
