3. Combine the chicken with the celery, raisins and lemon peel.

4. TO PREPARE THE DRESSING: In a bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, honey, rosemary, salt and pepper. Stir into the salad, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

5. Wash the romaine and radicchio, pat dry and wrap in paper towels.

Refrigerate.

6. When ready to serve, stir together 2 teaspoons lemon juice and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Tear the lettuce into small pieces and toss with the lemon-oil mixture. Divide between plates and top with the chicken salad. Garnish with the croutons.

Note: If radicchio is unavailable or too expensive, substitute red leaf lettuce.
