In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and plenty
of
pepper. Set aside. Stack half the lettuce leaves, roll them
up and
cut crosswise into thin slices. Repeat with the remaining
lettuce
leaves.
In a large bowl, combine the lettuce and other greens,
scallions,
dill, mint, borage (if using) and fennel. Whisk the dressing
again,
and pour it over the salad. Add salt to taste; toss and
sprinkle with
the pine nuts, if using. Serve at once.
