Fresh Radicchio Salad with Pears and Bergeron Fondues

Whether you’re an experienced cook or just a willing one, Bergeron Fondues are a great way to kick off a meal. For a fuller entrée, consider this colourful and appealing salad. Radicchio, a little-known vegetable, adds a lovely touch of red to the plate [a great idea for Valentine’s Day!] The leaves have a bitter or sweet taste, depending on the variety. We love it for its many properties, such as its high vitamin K and antioxidant content.
The sweet hints of honey and pears enhance our fondues’ melt-in-your-mouth, slightly salty heart.
Serve this appetizer at a romantic dinner or at your next barbecue this summer.
