Grænt salat með appelsínum

Green salad with oranges

The recipe here comes from an old Icelandic cookbook from the 1940s. I find it a bit unusual, such a “sweet salad”, but it definitely has something!


Ingredients

1 head of lettuce
1 orange
50 ml whipping cream
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp lemon juice


Preparation

Wash and pick the lettuce.

Then arrange the lettuce leaves on the plates.

Peel the orange, clean it and cut it into small pieces.

Whip the cream until stiff and mix with the orange pieces, sugar and lemon juice.

Then pour the mixture over the lettuce leaves and serve immediately.

This salad is traditionally served as a side dish to cold dishes, lamb or poultry.
