Salat (French American Retro Island 2013)

Today is retro day.

Remember? Back in the 80s, when ordering a Salat somewhere, you would have received something like this. And, mind you, I spared you the iceberg, which was more or less a synonym for lettuce for a loooong dull time. Best thing about it was the choice of dressing: "French" or "American" or "Thousand Islands" ... We'll try something inbetween ... all those islands.

lettuce
cucumber
tomatoes
sweetcorn

the French-American-Island Dressing goes like this:
barbecue tomato sauce
remoulade/mayonnaise
some cream
white vinegar
mustard
salt, pepper
and, as a concession to the new millenium, some fresh parsley - the only know fresh herb back then

Let me add we skipped dessert and had some malzbier instead.
