Simple green salad

The simplicity of this green salad is what makes it the ideal accompaniment for hot meat of fish dishes or even as a stand-alone light course.

The important thing is that the vinegar should not over-power the oil and lettuce.  Different oil and, indeed, vinegars can be used.  One vinegar that works perfectly is sweet, clear, Pedro Ximénez balsamic vinegar from Spain.
