Warm Winter Salad of Radicchio with Wild Rocket & Feta

This salad with radicchio is one of my favourite winter salads – the crispness of the bread, the saltiness of the feta cheese. It comes with quite a sweet dressing which compliments the bitterness of the leaves perfectly. A great little starter. You don't need to buy expensive balsamic vinegar for this one – the cheap stuff is fine as you'll be reducing it into a lovely dressing.
