Mixed Green Salad - {Misticanza} Recipe - Cooking Index
An Italian mixed green salad is not likely to include iceberg lettuce, known in Italy as crocantine or Braziliana. Rather the salad bowl is filled with a delightful mixture of bitter greens including chicory, escarole, dandelion greens, and crunchy radicchio and is anything but boring. It is a work of edible art, a refreshing wake-up call for the palate, and a reminder that Italians know how to enjoy the bitter with the sweet.
