my favorite is baby lettuce, vine ripe tomatoes, and homemade dressing.
I use the juice of one lemon, white vinegar, red vinegar, dijon mustard, and garlic. I blend that smooth with a hand held immersion blender, and then blend in the olive oil. Extra virgin.
A bit of salt (the dijon is salty), and with the ripe tomato juice all over the well tossed lettuce it is so delicious.
My French grandmother taught me all her salad secrets. The French eat their salad after the main course (at least my family does), and I can't live without eating salad often. My body starts to crave it, I don't feel as healthy without fresh greens.
