Strawberry Salad


This is from the great cookbook, Recipes from an Italian Supper. The boy and I both like the idea of an Italian Summer.

150g ripe strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 curly lettuce, shredded
150g mixed salad leaves
5tbsp olive oil
3tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt & pepper

The best salads are simple, and sometimes the skill is in not over complicating them. It goes without saying that the strawberries must be perfect. The boy will want them with cream and sugar but the crisp sourness of the lettuce and rich sweetness of the balsamic will take this to a good place.

Not really a recipe- put everything in a large bowl and toss. I think white china will justify itself.

Serve with a chilled bottle of white Grenache and some Haydn string quartets. Stroke his hair. Love him.
