If you're happily plotting your holiday table, get excited about this statement salad, brimming with sweet pops of pomegranate, a little freshness and spice from the herbs and chile, the gorgeous texture and cascading red leaves of radicchio… and yes, the eminently sophisticated salinity of just a few anchovies melted into a delicious lemony vinaigrette.
