Instructions

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

Cut the lettuce into quarters. Depending on the size of the lettuce head, the outer leaves can be removed. Wash the lettuce quarters under cold, running water. If necessary, soak the quarters in cold, salted water for a while, then rinse thoroughly and let them drain. Place one lettuce quarter at a time in a deep dish or on a salad plate. You can also arrange small dressed salads or raw salad/vegetable pieces next to them, such as carrot salad, radishes, tomato slices or baby tomatoes, mushroom slices/lettuce, asparagus pieces from a jar, etc. For the dressing, mix the yogurt with the cream, balsamic or white wine vinegar, and a little mustard. Season with salt, pepper, and sugar, and add chives. You can also add a little pumpkin seed oil. Drizzle the dressing over the Salanova quarters before serving. Sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds or other seeds, or toasted bread cubes if desired. The salad is also perfect for a festive meal or a salad platter. The dressing can be customized to your taste. A Thousand Island dressing is also delicious.
