French-style salad
Description
The recipe won't take much time. This is a basic French salad served both in upscale restaurants and tiny bistros on the outskirts of Paris. Perhaps this is the most French recipe I've ever come across—minimal ingredients, brilliantly simple preparation, and an almost weightless lightness. This salad is the perfect side dish for meat, poultry, or fish—especially for those watching their weight, as this salad contains almost no calories! Once prepared, serve it at the table.
