Blattsalat mit Zirbenessig-Kürbiskernölmarinade

---

A very simple salad which caught my attention because of its unusual dressing.

Ingredients

• 80 ml apple juice
• 20 ml Zirbenessig (stone pine vinegar - see below)
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 lettuces, washed and shredded, or equivalent in mixed leaves
• 80 ml pumpkin seed oil

Method

1. Mix the apple juice and the vinegar with the salt and pour over the leaves.
2. Just before you are ready to serve, mix in the pumpkin seed oil.

Chef's notes

Pumpkin seed oil can be obtained from Kipferl. Stone pine vinegar is an Austrian speciality and I do not think it can be bought in the UK. From what I can work out, it is mixed with apple (cider) and red wine vinegar, so use a mix of these two vinegars instead.
