French Bistro Salad 🥬🥬🥬
Keeping things SUPER SIMPLE because SIMPLE is often best!
Refreshing and crisp greens and fresh herbs, with just the right amount of bright flavor and crunchy texture.
A very slight tang thanks to the shallots and vinegar is balanced out seamlessly with a big dollop of raw honey and delicate sweet gem lettuce leaves.
Each ingredient dances and mingles effortlessly together.
A light and clean fresh salad to serve alongside your hearty, creamy, or rich foods to balance out the meal.
Don’t let the simplicity fool you here – this combination is perfection.
You’ll want to make this salad all summer because it’s just so good!
Easy and gorgeous for serving at all of your parties and BBQ’S – this one always is the first to be eaten!
But don’t stop making this French Bistro Salad once summer is over!
It’s just as good in the wintertime sitting on your holiday table served next to a hearty roast or creamy casserole.
The light freshness helps to balance out heavier/creamy meals nicely.
Dish me up a big bowl full of these gorgeous greens next to my baked salmon, halibut, or chicken thighs, and I’m so so very happy.
➡️Rachel’s tip:
Make SURE that you actually love the taste of the olive oil that you use for your dressings such as this because your salad will come out tasting very much like the oil you use.
Consider serving alongside:
Baked Salmon with Lemon Cream Sauce
Ultra Creamy Chicken Mushroom Skillet
Slow Cooker Roast Beef
