ndchef | 07/05/2014The 4 stars are because I had to monkey with the dressing - it was way too vinegary. Added an extra 1/2 plum, and some honey. I also didn't like the texture with the plum skins, so I strained it. Then it worked well, and I loved the plums and arugula together. Left out the radicchio, as I don't like the extreme bitterness. I will make it again this way.
