One of the dishes I miss most from my Roman days is the winter salad known as le puntarelle. Puntarelle are a kind of chicory native to the countryside around Rome. In fact, the vegetable is sometimes called "Roman chicory" in English. The shoots are rather thick but tender, white at the base and green at their tips. The taste is pleasantly bitter and peppery. When used in salads, puntarelle are typically peeled and cut into thin strips, then soaked in cold water until they curl up. They are then dressed in an anchovy vinaigrette.

    Thanks, Kathy! I do love this salad--although I do miss puntarelle. I've read they do cultivate them in California but I've never seen them in the markets here...

      I love how a few simple ingredients can come together to create something as flavorful (and attractive) as this salad.
