This actually sounds pretty good Gina and I love that it uses Bisquick...one of my favorites. Actually I check out the Betty Crocker site quite often - that and their Dinner Made Easy section. Here's one of my favorites:

1 head escarole, torn into bite-size pieces
1 small head radicchio, thinly sliced
3/4 cup sliced red onion

1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, if desired

1. In tightly covered container, shake all vinaigrette ingredients until well blended.
2. In large serving bowl, mix lettuce, escarole, radicchio and onion. Top with grapefruit sections and pomegranate seeds.

Just before serving, add vinaigrette; toss gently to coat.
