Here a lovely starter…

Ingredients:

200g lamb´s lettuce
250g cherry tomatoes
fresh goat cheese „Picandou“
1 tbsp white balsamico vinegar from Austria
3-4 tbsp pumpkinseed oil from Austria

That looks delicious, Martin. We grow a lettuce in late spring that looks very much like that-- I think it may be the same. I love the texture, which is tender (not soft like baby lettuces) but still has a little crunch.

Melissa,

we call it “Feldsalat” or “Ackersalat” in german. Relatively spicy flavor and works perfectly with pumpkin seed oil.
My version of lamb´s lettuce is a bit different to the classic version, normally it is totally green.

Greetings from Berlin,

You really don’t see it much in supermarkets, not even the better ones. It has to be a farmer’s market thing or grown your own.

That looks like the one we (translation: Steve) grow.
