Cook over medium heat, stirring until the onions are just barely translucent. Remove with a slotted spoon and sprinkle over the greens in the bowl. Now briefly cook the pine nuts in the same skillet until golden, then stir in the red pepper. Quickly stir until just heated, then sprinkle over the greens.
