Directions
Radicchio, bacon and pear salad is a refreshing as it is tasty, perfect for those alfresco summer meals. It’s a salad but with a hint of naughtiness added thanks to the bacon.
I have to admit that I made this recipe even easier as I bought bottled balsamic reduction. So in the end I simply crispened the bacon, and placed the other ingredients into the bowl to mix. I made an error by peeling the pear which made the salad less colourful without the green to contrast with the purple radicchio.
Enjoy and thanks to SBS for another delightful Australian recipe.
