About This Recipe
“My husband and I lived in northwest London for 9 months. There were so many restaurants and bistros within walking distance that we rarely left the area. This is a recreation of one of my favorite dishes. It was served both as an appetizer or in a larger portion as an entree. With a glass of wine and some crusty bread this was a great lunch or light dinner.”

“DH and I loved this salad.I used spinach as my greens and Yukon gold potatoes.I fixed the recipe exactly as listed, except I used a little extra garlic, because we love garlic. I think some tomatoes will be great in it. I will definitly fix this again.I had this in my cookbook for quite a while and fixed it in participation with Zaar Cookbook tag.Thanks Lorac!It is a keeper!”
