Lamb’s lettuce salad
Are you looking for an idea for lunch? Maybe a salad in which the main ingredient is lamb’s lettuce?
Lamb’s lettuce is a salad I try eating as often as possible. Of course, I like it best when combined with other vegetables but I also like to serve it on toasts and as an addition to soups.
The recipe that I am sharing with you today is an easy recipe for lamb’s lettuce salad. Of course, lamb’s lettuce salad by itself could be boring, so I added tomatoes, olives and basil to it.
I used tiger tomatoes in this salad, which, I must tell you, do not appear in my kitchen too often. Reason? I am not always able to get them in the store. It’s a pity, because they are really yummy, they taste a bit different from, for example, raspberry tomatoes, which are my favourites, by the way.
