Looking for a holiday side dish? Look no further. This easy dish will be a winner at any Thanksgiving or Christmas table.
You may be new to using radicchio or maybe you have never used it. Radicchio is a member of the chicory family and has a sharp, bitter flavor if eaten raw. The cooking removes some of the bitterness and brings out some of the natural sweetness. It pairs great with the sweetness of the tomato. This is a great substitute for more high carb side dishes that normally accompany Thanksgiving.
