I thought this would be a healthy, easy, and tasty side dish to have with our meal. I was wrong. This is a very simple recipe so I think it would be hard to mess this one up.

The flavors were just terrible together. Radicchio is essentially a small red-headed cabbage... too bitter to go with the chickpeas which have a creamy taste. This would probably better if you didn't cook or fry the parsley at all... and everything was just uncooked with a better dressing. The lemon juice just accentuated the bitterness--- this would be better off with a creamy dressing that mild and doesn't conflict with the radicchio.

I'd rather of turned my radicchio into coleslaw as a matter of fact... I can't believe how bad this one came out and I cook out of foodnetwork all the time.
