The best salad!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The beans really make this salad a meal! I have this by itself or along side chicken or pork. It goes wonderful with... Giada's stuffed pork chops with sundried tomatoes and spinach! Everyone seems to like this salad and it is a staple in the salad section of my recipe book!Read more

Simple and light to balance a more complex meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The only change I made was adding pealed orange slices (as Giada has done in other recipes, using a paring knife to make... pealing easy)--I tend to like a little sweetness to balance the bitterness of the radicchio. The juice from the orange sweetens the vinaigrette just a little making a really nice effect. Read more

Great Salad
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a beautiful salad. Very colorful. I added a little rice wine vinegar, some dijon mustard and a small amount of... sugar to the salad dressing because I thought it was a little bland. I added some celery, radishes and gorgonzola cheese to the salad. It was delicious and I got rave reviews from our guests.Read more

Hello from Dolly
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salad is fresh, lite and filling. Just perfect for our hot Arizona summers. Thanks, so much Giada.
