Grilled Portabella and Radicchio Salad

Summertime means grilling. But grilling doesn't just mean steaks and burgers. Portabella mushrooms are from the cremini family of mushrooms and are perfect for the grill. Creminis are harvested young and are smaller while portabellas that are allowed to grow for a longer period of time increasing their size to 4-6 inches in diameter. Portabellas have a deep flavor that is enhanced when marinated and grilled.
This light, fresh salad combines the full flavor of the grilled portabella with the bitter and spicy radicchio. Radicchio is from the chicory family and has purple leaves with white ribs. Choose radicchio with crisp leaves and no brown spots.
This is a simple prep dish that can be served as a side or a vegetarian/vegan entree.
