Need a quick and easy salad that can go with literally anything? Your search is officially over.
This Italian Salad is my summer go to during a heatwave.
When temperatures soar the last thing I feel like doing is turning on my ovens.
Instead I crave light and fresh salads I can whip up in a flash and enjoy poolside. And this beauty will not dissapoint.
It’s brilliant and so easy to make. Top it with some tuna or smoked salmon for a full meal.
I am obsessed with this combo
The way the bitter radicchio and dandelion greens pair with the marinated artichokes and salty parmesan cheese is just brilliant.
And the lemony dressing knocks it out of the park. Drizzle on everything for a vibrant zing.
And it’s so simple it’s the perfect side salad for any occasion.
