Green salad is a popular side in the Austrian cuisine. The salad adds a good balance to hearty Austrian meals (e.g. Käsespätzle, Viennese Schnitzel). The side also allows for variations or combinations of different green salads like frisee, romaine, iceberg, spinach, napa cabbage or butterhead lettuce. Every now and then I also throw in my leftover vegetables like pepper, tomato or radishes to add some color. In this recipe, I use butterhead lettuce with a simple honey mustard yogurt dressing.

My little secret
Instead of vinegar, I love to use fresh lemon juice and pep the dressing with some lemon zest.
