Watercress and Radicchio Salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

No need to dirty a bowl. Save cleanup time by making the vinaigrette right in the salad bowl and then adding the greens. The honey in the vinaigrette balances the bitterness of radicchio and bite of watercress, but the dressing works with any greens.
