The salad is almost the same as yesterday--lettuce from the garden, a vinaigrette, and toasted sesame seeds. We usually make the vinaigrette with a little olive oil, a little balsamic vinegar, and a little Viandox, which is a yeast extract based sauce we have only seen in France, but never here. Today I used Maggi, a similar sauce you CAN get here, instead of Viandox. Viandox is a little darker in flavor and color, but overall I think this tasted very similar. Sorry, I can't give exact proportions--it is very much to taste. You whisk the ingredients in the bottom of your salad bowl, toss in the lettuce, and voila!
