Radicchio Slaw With Raspberry Balsamic Dressing

This is both delicious and beautiful! I like to mix up the ingredients a little just for the variety in color... pale green lettuces and apples with a pinkish peel look good with the radicchio and carrots. And the dressing is just wonderful! I also like to substitute pine nuts for the walnuts sometimes.
