This simple side dish is a great way to add a pop of color and a boost of nutrition to your plate. Radicchio, a bitter Italian chicory, is transformed when sauteed with a touch of honey and balsamic vinegar. The heat of the pan tames its natural bitterness, resulting in a sweet and tangy dish that pairs perfectly with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.

With just a handful of ingredients and a few simple steps, this recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners or even a quick and easy lunch. The radicchio leaves are rinsed and left slightly damp before being tossed in a hot pan with olive oil, salt, and pepper. A quick saute later, and you're ready to add the balsamic vinegar and honey. The result is a glossy, flavorful side dish that's sure to impress.

Not only is this dish delicious, but it's also packed with nutrients. Radicchio is an excellent source of vitamin K, providing over 170% of your daily needs in just one serving. It's also a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and manganese. So, not only are you treating your taste buds, but you're also fueling your body with essential nutrients.
