About

Salads are generally served to accompany a main course, particularly a main course that is considered quite heavy. In summer, they are always greatly appreciated, and consist of beautiful mixed leaves. This is just an example — you should use a mix of the various salad leaves that are available. You can use lemon juice instead of the vinegar, if you prefer.
