Mâche and Egg Salad

Sugar-sweet green radicchio zuccherino is found only in Istria and northeastern Italy; a good substitute is mache (lamb's lettuce). Bastianich adds garlic to this salad in thick slices so it can be picked out by the garlic-shy. ''Chop it fine if you don't mind eating garlic,'' she adds.
