Another green salad? Yes because this is THE green salad thanks to the dried garlic flakes, which in France is called ail semoule or semolina garlic and it’s true that ail semoule is by far much more delicate in shape than the photos I found on the Internet about garlic flakes when I was trying to find a translation, and it might be even more delicate in taste because I have never tasted dried garlic flakes, but it’s all I could find as a translation. Nevertheless, I think that you can find semolina garlic, which is a French condiment even outside France, and if you do find it, give it a try because it’s really good. This is also THE green salad due to the Xérès vinegar which is a red wine vinegar with fine taste, you can use instead classic red wine vinegar but the taste is not the same.
The Xérès vinegar is an ingredient that I discovered in France because in Greece we did not have it when I was living there, but I found that its taste was the closest thing I could find in France to have a red wine vinegar because in Greece I always used a good red wine vinegar that even if it was an industrial product, it has tarragon in it! It was very good but the Xérès vinegar was good enough for my early years in France or even now :)
