Salade Vertes
This is a typical French green salad served along with the main dish and the ingredients are always bought absolutely fresh and young! A fresh French green salad recipe or salade vertes consisting of plain crisp lettuce or other salad greens such as endives (chicory), watercress, lambs lettuce, dandelion leaves, etc.
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 many places, you can buy large bunches of fresh salad greens in the supermarkets and the many markets in most towns and villages.
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.
And now you have your beautiful fresh green salad, easily made in no time at all!
You can serve it as a first course or alongside your main dish and of course you can make enough for a few days and keep it in an air tight container in the refrigerator and have it at the ready.
Such a simple and yet healthy addition to your family meals with very little work involved - and that's a bonus!
