Brie and Strawberry Salad

This is a flavorful and fresh salad that’s also a nutritious and satisfying side dish. You get all these benefits by adding brie, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds to the salad.

The slightly tangy taste of sun-ripened strawberries fully enhances the greens. Oak leaf
lettuce is full of flavor and adds both nutritional value and beautiful color, turning this
salad into a small work of art.

Oak Leaf Lettuce Salad with Brie and Strawberries
• 1 head oak leaf lettuce, washed
• 3½ oz. (100 g) brie cheese
• 8 strawberries
• 3⅓ fl. oz. (100 ml) walnuts
• 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
• ¼ cup (50 ml) Italian parsley
• 2 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Line the sides of a bowl with beautiful oak leaf lettuce leaves. Shred the rest of the lettuce
and set it in the middle of the bowl. Cut the cheese into small slices and the strawberries in
quarters.

Scatter the cheese and strawberries evenly over the lettuce. Sprinkle the nuts and pumpkin seeds over the top. Strip the parsley stalks of nice leaves and sprinkle them over the salad. Drizzle on some good olive oil and lemon juice right before serving.
