This light, tangy salad is the perfect accompaniment to the Tuscan Cassoulet with Parmesan. The combination is an easy, healthy meal during a busy week. At the restaurant, they use Champagne in the salad dressing. We’ve simplified it with white wine vinegar, but if you’ve got a bottle of the bubbly open, feel free to substitute.
