Nostrana Salad, our best selling salad is a Caesar style Salad that substitutes radicchio for the more traditional Romaine. The crunch of the radicchio (which we soak in ice water to temper its bitterness) and the herb croutons makes eating this salad as fun as eating potato chips or popcorn, and the creamy dressing and parmigiano-Reggiano adds richness. This salad is definitely not a chore to devour.

Recipe contains anchovies
