Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon chopped shallot
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 heads radicchio (about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 pound mesclun* (mixed baby lettuces; about 4 quarts loosely packed)
1 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves

Steps:
