Directions
1. Select
the best leaves of the red lettuce and the oak leaf lettuce. Cut the iceberg
lettuce and the chicories into regular pieces.
2. Cook the egg for 10 minutes. Let it cool down, cut it into small dices and put it aside. 3. Wash the apples and cut them into segments, with the peel. To make the honey vinaigrette, put the honey, the Modena vinegar, the oil, the salt and pepper in a bowl and mit it vigorously. Taste it and add more salt or pepper, if necessary. PRESENTATION Put the lettuces in the centre of the plate, and decorate the sides with the apples, the nuts and the diced egg on top. |

Hints
The more
almonds you consume, the more significant the reduction is in total and LDL
cholesterol levels in your body. If you consume 2.5 oz. almonds daily, which
provides 420 calories and 35 g
fat, you will lower your LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, levels by a very
significant 9.4 percent.
