This Insalata di Puntarelle is a refreshing Italian-inspired salad that celebrates bold, punchy flavours and satisfying textures. Using a clever combination of Belgian endive and celery, this dish provides a wonderful crunch that mimics traditional Roman chicory. The vegetables are soaked in ice water to enhance their crispness, making them the perfect vessel for the savoury, umami-rich dressing made from garlic, anchovies and extra-virgin olive oil.
A fantastic choice for those seeking a diabetes-friendly starter or side dish, this salad is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in fibre. The sharp notes of red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard balance the saltiness of the anchovies, resulting in a sophisticated flavour profile. Serve it alongside grilled fish or roasted chicken for a light yet deeply flavourful homemade meal.
