SWISS CHEESE SALAD

I entered this recipe that I created myself in a local cooking contest in 1980 - it took first prize! The salad complements any main dish and is also good for picnics or potlucks...just take the lettuce along in a plastic bag or container and toss with the cheese and vegetable mixture when you arrive.

SWISS BASIC SALAD DRESSING



Swiss Basic Salad Dressing image

I found this recipe on site called about.com, which information about Switzerland. It states that: A typical side salad in Switzerland would include some green salad, lettuce, carrots, tomato, cucumber, maybe some corn or beans (white or red). It could also include beetroot or even coleslaw. Some people like to add half an egg or decorate the salad with nuts or pumpkin seeds.
