SALAD for COCKTAIL HOUR - no forks required PLEASE !

Smarten'up and stop grinning… I know it's not really a recipe ! But it's fresh it's crisp, it's wholesome. Not a whole serving of salad, no salad bowl needed nor a fork to eat it with. Just salad spears, lightly coated with some slightly sweet, slightly tart, light and zingy dressing and edible with two fingers and in 1, 2, 3 bites !

Perfect to accompany a cocktail-buffet, a brunch, oysters or even a yogurt dip. Need I say more ?
