Let artichokes, fennel, radicchio, and walnuts of this Italian salad bring your world to life on a dark winter day.
G. Giustolisi
The artichokes in this salad are a very rich source of potassium and phosphorus, and like the radicchio, also calcium and iron.
The Modena cream balsamic vinegar and walnuts are the key to a dish that, in my house, in winter, is very much in demand.
