Salad Greens : Mix all the greens, along with the radicchio, endive, and radishes, if using.
Soy Vinaigrette : In a small bowl, add chopped shallots, salt, monk fruit, soy sauce, wine vinegar, and lemon. Let macerate for 5 minutes. Add the chopped parsley, and whisk the ingredients. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Taste for seasoning, and adjust.
Assembling the salad: In a large bowl mix the greens with 2 tbsp. of dressing, to coat the leaves. Add half of the warm mushrooms, along with shaved Parmigiano, and walnuts. Reserve some mushrooms, nuts, and cheese to top the salad.
