This was yummy!  We couldn't find little gem lettuce or red endive, so we used baby butter lettuce, baby romaine, and radicchio as subs.  We added some sliced roast beef in order to turn this into a heartier dinner salad.  We loved the flavor combo, and even my two-year-old loved it!  hanks for another delicious recipe, Food Network!
