This slaw evolved to complement one of my favorite pork dishes: Fennel Pollen Crusted Pork Chops. I experimented with a few combinations and just love the slight bitterness of the radicchio with the sweetness of the pears. The lemony vinaigrette with a little honey adds some more sweetness, and the minced anchovy gives it depth. And I can't stress enough how perfect the Manchego cheese is for this slaw. I've tried others, but they don't compare. And, you'll also get delicious results if you substitute the pears with apples...just make sure they are sweet. It's a great slaw to make in the fall and even winter when apples, pears and chicories are in season. It would also go great with fried chicken! Enjoy :)
