Plain Simple & Tasty Mesclun Salad
A lovely delicate French salad to enjoy with your meal.
Ingredients
Any combination of fresh young salad leaves such as:
- 1 cup handful of watercress 1 to 1½ cups of each lettuce type
- 1 cup handful of rocket arugula
- 1 cup handful of parsley
- 1 cup handful of dandelion leaves
- 1 cup handful sorrel
- 1 cup handful oak leaf lettuce
- 1 garlic clove cut in half
- Vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
- Wash the fresh salad leaves in cold water and dry them well on a kitchen towel.
- Rub the garlic clove around the inside of the bowl.
- Arrange leaves in a salad bowl.
- Toss in a light vinaigrette dressing just before serving. Best to toss with clean hands to prevent crushing the delicate greens.
- It is delicious served with a few slivers of parmesan cheese or pine nuts, walnuts, black olives and if you are lucky enough to purchase some truffles these would be a fabulous addition.
- Bon Appétit
Notes
The Lemon & Olive Oil vinaigrette sauce you will discover in the link above is my favourite dressing for this salad. But make a couple and experiment with small portions of salad until you have come up with your favourite for this lovely mesclun salad.
