Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

mixed side salad

Wash and trim the iceberg lettuce. Cut the thick ribs from the individual leaves. Then, for each serving, cut about 2-3 iceberg lettuce leaves into 2×2 cm, bite-sized pieces and line the salad bowls with them. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into sixths. Arrange 3 tomato pieces on each salad. Grate or peel the carrots and finely grate them (ideally into threads using a rotary grater, not too mushy). Place a small heap of tomato pieces between the tomato pieces. Slice the onion into thin half rings, and thinly slice the salami and cheese, then divide everything among the 6 servings. Season the salad with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper either at the table or just before serving. A double portion with 2-3 baguette slices makes a light, quick, and delicious main course. The red wine vinegar alone gives the salad that special something, so be sure to try it with just that.
