green-salad-recipeGreen Salad Recipe ~ Simple & Refreshing

This is a typical French green salad served along with the main dish and the ingredients are always bought absolutely fresh and young.

Often the fresh ingredients are those which are readily available growing in spring and summer although nowadays we can buy them readily available in the supermarkets.

In France you can buy large bunches of fresh salad greens in the supermarkets and the many markets in most towns and villages.

They are also much bigger bunches of salad greens than any I have seen elsewhere, they are fantastic.

The green salad is served on a separate plate with a vinaigrette which is an oil and vinegar dressing and very easy to make at home so you don't need to buy expensive bottles of this from the supermarket.
