![Of the five tastes that are perceived by our taste buds: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami, which is your favorite?🤓

You know about my "sweet tooth", but maybe you don't know that bitter foods, especially bitter greens, rank very high on my list.
Chicory, radicchio, endive, broccoli rabe are very appealing to my taste.
Radicchio [raˈdikkjo] is a perennial cultivated form of leaf chicory with a bitter and spicy taste. And I love it😍.

There is the bitterness from the radicchio, the sweetness from the figs and pears, the saltiness from the Marcona almonds, and a little sourness from the grated lemon zest. Plus, the wonderful rich creaminess of the mascarpone dressing helps bring the flavors to balance.
