This salad is particularly juicy because of table grapes that makes it really special.?You can replace the grapes, when no longer in season, with apples, pears or pineapples. Radicchio dampens the sweetness of the fruit, balancing the flavors.
Tofu adds protein and becomes delicious with this simple and quick vinaigrette.
