THE VINAIGRETTE
¼ cup basil dried tomatoes (see recipe)
¾ cup strained tomato juice or water
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
THE SALAD
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 cups mixed shiitake and portobello mushrooms, stemmed and cut into 1 ½-inch pieces

4 cups cleaned chicory, torn into bite-size pieces

Preparation
- Step 1
To make the vinaigrette, place the tomatoes, the tomato juice or water, the vinegar, the salt and the pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Scrape into a small saucepan and set aside.
- Step 2
To make the salad, heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until softened. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt. Add the radicchio and chicory and toss until wilted slightly, about 2 minutes. Place in a large bowl and toss in the dried tomatoes and grapes.
- Step 3
Warm the vinaigrette, pour over the salad, add the remaining salt and toss well. Divide among plates and serve immediately.
