My suggestions:
-
- Instead of fennel, you can add coarsely sliced cabbage (savoy cabbage, Chinese cabbage, white cabbage) to the lamb’s lettuce. Then just add a little of the dill tips to the dressing, but enrich it with caraway seeds. This is also a typical autumn/winter salad.
Product description:
Lamb’s lettuce, Rapunzel, field lettuce, mouse ear, has a nutty flavour and tender leaves. It is very popular in autumn and winter. When preparing it, toss the lamb’s lettuce in cold water several times, as dirt and sand can easily collect in the florets. Then spin dry. Only pour the prepared salad dressing over it before serving, otherwise the tender leaves will quickly collapse.
