Method

In a large serving bowl, mix the radicchio leaves, slivered basil leaves, radishes and pickled shallot rings. Drizzle on a few tablespoons of the roasted garlic vinaigrette and gently toss the salad until all the leaves are coated and shiny. Dress the salad at least 20 minutes before serving to mellow the bitterness of the radicchio.
