  1. I changed this a little but I think it was close enough to be able to judge...I left out the sun dried tomatoes because I'm the only one who likes them...I used a can of fire roasted tomatoes with garlic in stead...I also addedd some diced mozarella cheese and used arugula rather than radicchio...no pine nuts either...i also added a jar of artichoke hearts and a can of chic peas...this is also great for leftovers as it sits well over night...actually, it was still good 2 days later...I'll be making this often...fresh tomatoes will be great in the summer as other cheeses like feta...I thought if you wanted to add a meat to it diced steak or roast beef or a salami or pepperoni would be yummy as would diced chicken or turkey...ham, prociutto or even bacon may be good too...there are so many things you can do with this great salad I will enjoy experimenting...oh, it helps that its a quick and easy one dish meal...thanks for posting
