Notes
Secrets to Success
- You can easily build this salad up to have more heft, protein, and crunch if you like. You can add your favorite plant protein, such as tofu, tempeh, chickpeas, or another bean.
- For more color and extra crunch, feel free to add other springtime vegetables like peas, asparagus, broccoli, or beets! I also like to add a sprinkle of microgreens because they're full of nutrients and always look great on salads!
- For sweetness, feel free to add mandarin oranges, sweet apple, or even sliced grapes.
- To offset the bitterness of radicchio, feel free to add some creamy avocado as well.
