very tame example; copies still available g]

Rinse greens under cold running water. Drain thoroughly. Tear into
bitesize pieces.

To prepare dressing: Combine onion, peppers, and fresh herbs in large
mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. Dress salad immediately
prior to serving.

Notes: The recipe also called for 2 T. fresh chives in the dressing, but I
had none and did not miss them. Ditto 1 head of red leaf lettuce I like
the stronger taste of the radicchio, so substituted extra radicchio for the
red leaf lettuce. Also, unsalted sunflower seeds or pine nuts would
probably be terrific in this.
