This fresh and nutritious salad combines exquisite notes of European cuisine with a sea breeze. Chicory with its characteristic bitterness is lightly sautéed in a lemon-olive sauce, becoming tender, while cucumbers add juiciness and freshness. Romano adds lightness and texture, and radish provides a crunchy sharpness. Seaweed enriches the salad with umami, while garlic highlights the depth of flavor. This salad not only delights the taste buds but also nourishes the body with beneficial minerals. Ideal as a light main dish or a refreshing side for seafood.
