Tips from the author
Corn on the cob from the BBQ can be even tastier. Lightly brush the ears of corn with oil and grill them, turning regularly, for approx. 8 min. until cooked and golden yellow. This salad goes perfectly with a good piece of steak from the BBQ.
One cut is enough to separate the head of lettuce into lots of baby leaves, Salanova Crispy has a delicious crunch and is a great base for classic French bistro salads.
