What to Look For: This member of the chicory family comes in several varieties, with two types being most widely available in the United States: Treviso and Verona. Treviso leaves are oblong with pointed ends and grow in small, tightly packed heads. Verona radicchio grows in loosely packed round heads similar in shape to butter lettuce. Both varieties have purple leaves with white ribs. Choose radicchio with crisp leaves and no brown spots. How to Store: Keep radicchio in a tightly sealed bag in the refrigerator for up to one week. 02 of 19 Radicchio, Goat Cheese, and Hazelnut Salad Radicchio is matched with a perfectly balanced dressing made of extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, and sugar in this easy yet elegant salad.
