Notes

The nutrition counts expects all the dressing to be used, to save some calories you could limit the amount of dressing on your portion.
 
I got this idea from Food52  which had a recipe like this on their site. I wondered about the ingredients and how they would work together, and they did great. Now I have a recipe I can use that has radicchio.
