There is nothing as beautiful as vegetables when it comes to raw materials. I came across this pretty speckled salad green at the farmer’s market yesterday. It’s a Castelfranco Radicchio, an heirloom vegetable that you normally find in Italy. The flower-like cluster has pale green leaves with speckles of burgundy on them. The taste is much milder that the more common deep purple radicchio and it’s best eaten raw.
