This bright, fresh salad has a little bit of everything going on: sweet, salt, cream, and crunch. It's gorgeous-looking and can be made in just 15 minutes. We love the combination of crunchy radicchio and spicy arugula. It nicely complements the Champagne vinegar, honey, fresh chives, red grapes, and crumbled goat cheese. Arugula lends a peppery bite, but other greens work well, too, such as romaine or butter lettuce or even a bag of mixed greens. Toasted almonds are the finishing touch that provide color and contrast, but feel free to use pecans or walnuts instead if you don't have any.
