Gr8 Green Salad With Lemon, Garlic Vinaigrette

Trinkets's Note:

So refreshing and healthy and the perfect side dish for any dinner! We had this with oven roasted Prime rib, Steakhouse Au Gratin Potatoes and Sauteed Green Beans with some crusty Italian bread and garlic butter.

I really loved this, though it was really tangy, so may add a little sugar to the dressing next time. Maybe we have very juicy lemons in NZ! However, the flavours and texture was fantastic, thank you.

A wonderful mix of flavors and, particularly, textures. A very green, green salad. The herbs, especially, make this quite special. I shall be making it again!
