Salade du jardin (garden salad)

Many quebecer have their own way to eat it, but it all involves fresh green leaf lettuce and heavy cream.  This is my version.

Salade du jardin

( Garden salad)

Ingredients 

1 cup                                   Torn green leaf lettuce

1                                          Pickling cucumber

2 or 3                                  Radishes

1 small                               Native tomato 

1 tablespoon                     Heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon                    Chives and/or onion powder and garlic powder to taste. 

A lot of salt, a little bit of pepper and a little bit of heavy cream.  Half and half or even milk works, I even use almond milk or coconut milk sometimes.  They are all good but I really like the texture and taste of the heavy cream for it.

Directions 

Place the torn lettuce in a dish, follow with the cucumber, radishes, cream, chives or onion powder and pepper.  Mix very so lightly to avoid the cream runs down.

In Quebec we eat it only in late spring and early summer when the green leaf lettuce is so fresh and so good; and it's a treat!

It a good side dish for any kind of meat for dinner or just a tomatoe sandwich for lunch.

Make it yours and bon appétit!
