- 2 pinches fine salt
Tools
- 2 Oval plates

Preparation of Radicchio and Spanish Beans Salad
Wash and clean the radicchio, then roughly chop it and place it on the serving plates to form a bed for the other ingredients.
Also wash the yellow cherry tomatoes and then cut them into slices about a quarter of an inch thick.
Drain and rinse the Spanish white beans well.
Now randomly pour the yellow cherry tomatoes and Spanish beans over the radicchio bed.
In a coffee cup, mix the pesto with 1 scant teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
Now pour the dressing over the salad.
Finally, add a pinch of salt.
And voilà… your radicchio and Spanish beans salad is ready to be served and enjoyed.
Useful Tips
If you want, you can also use white wine vinegar; I do not recommend red vinegar as it is too strong to pair with pesto.
Instead of Chioggia radicchio, you can use Treviso radicchio or variegated radicchio.
