- 1/3 cup raw unsalted cashews
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened white grape juice
- 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium tamari
- 1 small shallot, chopped

Method
Put chicken in a small saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
Drain and cool.
In a blender, combine cashews, grape juice, tamari and shallot and blend until smooth.
Transfer to a small bowl and stir in tarragon.
In a large bowl, combine lettuce, radicchio and onion and toss with about 2/3 of the dressing.
Mound the mixture on a platter and top with the grapes.
Dice the chicken, sprinkle it over the salad, and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
