Green Salad Recipe
Salades Vertes

A lovely fresh French green salad recipe consisting of plain crisp lettuce or other salad greens such as endives (chicory), watercress, lambs lettuce, dandelion leaves etc. They are always bought absolutely fresh and young. I included some herbs in the picure above and pea shoots; simple but very refreshing!
The salad is served on a separate plate with an oil and vinegar dressing.
Ingredients
• 1 lettuce or other salad green of your choice.(There is no exact recipe for this, but a combination of fresh green leaves)• Vinaigrette dressing (see hors d oeuvres for dressings) )
Method
• Prepare the lettuce or salad greens by carefully washing in cold water, then shake in a salad basket or clean teacloth until dry. • Mix the vinaigrette dressing in the salad bowl. • Add the lettuce or leaves. Tear the leaves if they are large but never shred them. • Just before serving, toss very lightly with the dressing until all leaves are covered.
And there you have your beautiful fresh green salad, easily made in no time at all!
