A Side Salad With That?

Side-saladThis isn't the first time I've waxed poetic about salads here in Europe, specifically those side salads that always seem to surprise. I'm never expecting something special or just a little bit different in a salad that accompanies a main course, but that's the appeal of these salads.

Granted, the side salad pictured here isn't going to win awards for originality, but it was a surprise to some who was expecting a little lettuce and nothing more.

In fact, the lettuce in question, several varieties including a touch of endive, didn't come our of a bag and the tomato wedge, grated carrots and half of a hard boiled egg were more than I imagined the salad would be. Maybe the key here is under promise and over deliver.

In any case, side salad will never be the same.What side are you on?
